Red Apple and Carrot Juice Recipe
2 Servings

Ingredients:

  • About 6 Large Organic Carrots (peeled)
  • 3 Organic Red Gala Apples

Instructions:

  1. Peel or don't peel your carrots.  Be sure to cut the bitter ends off. 
  2. Next, slice the apples and carrots to fit into your juicer.
  3. Juice ingredients by alternating between the carrots and apples.
  4. Pour into 2 glasses to share with a loved one.

You can also mix carrot juice with raw milk if apples are just too sweet for you.  This makes it a more balanced drink.

I've heard the combination of organic raw carrot juice and nutrient dense raw milk helps with autism.

To Peel or Not to Peel?

Generally you may want to peel all root vegetables, but carrots are one of the exceptions as long as they are organic. 

Some people like to peel their carrots to make sweeter tasting carrot juice recipes.  Peeling may also reduce oxalates found in carrots.

Carrots have a medium amount of this anti-nutrient which can block certain minerals from being absorbed.  One cup of carrot juice can give you about 27 mg. of oxalates.

Although, peeling a carrot will reduce some of its nutrition. 

Nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin B3, and certain phytonutrients are more concentrated in the peel and will be lessened if you peel the carrot.

Tip - How to Peel Ginger Root

You can juice the skin of organic ginger, but removing the skin could make a better tasting juice.

Use a spoon to scrape the skin off of ginger instead of using a vegetable peeler - it's a much safer way!

Also, the rounded tip of a spoon can more easily get into the many crevices of ginger root.
