Ingredients
  

  • Organic carrots medium: 4-5 carrots (US Customary) / 400-450g (Metric)
  • Notes: Fresh not pre-peeled. Cut lengthwise into quarters.
  • Fresh ginger root: 1-inch piece US Customary / 15g (Metric)
  • Notes: Unpeeled used within 3-4 days of purchase. Do not peel.
  • Organic lemon: 1 whole US Customary / 1 lemon (Metric)
  • Notes: Freshly squeezed not bottled. Squeeze immediately before consumption.
  • Filtered water optional: 2-3 tablespoons (US Customary) / 30-45ml (Metric)

Equipment

  • Masticating cold-press juicer (preferred) or centrifugal juicer
  • Tall 12-16 oz glass
  • Vegetable brush
  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp Knife

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Rinse carrots under cool water with vegetable brush. Do not peel. Cut lengthwise into quarters or halves depending on juicer chute size. Wash ginger and lemon. Prepare all ingredients within 5 minutes of juicing to minimize oxidation.
  2. Step 2: Turn on masticating juicer (ideal for heat preservation) and feed carrot pieces slowly without forcing. Collect juice in glass. Expected yield: 6-8 oz of pure carrot juice.
  3. Step 3: Feed 1-inch ginger piece through juicer. Yield will be ½-1 oz of concentrated ginger juice. Appearance should be pale golden or slightly cloudy.
  4. Step 4: Pour carrot and ginger juice into single glass (7-9 oz combined). Cut lemon in half and squeeze both halves directly into glass. Aim for ½-¾ oz fresh lemon juice. Do not strain out pulp. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Step 5: Drink immediately—ideally within 5 minutes, definitely within 15 minutes of extraction. Consume on empty stomach for maximum absorption, or pair with small amount of healthy fat (almond butter, coconut oil) to enhance beta-carotene bioavailability.

Notes

  • Storage (Optimal): Drink fresh juice immediately (0-15 minutes).
  • Storage (Acceptable): Airtight glass container, refrigerated for up to 24 hours (nutrient value degrades ~10-15% per hour).
  • Storage (Not Recommended): Freezing is not recommended as it damages antioxidant compounds.
