In this “get juiced” article, we’ll discuss the wonderful healing power of the Carrot, Ginger, Turmeric Elixir. I always feel a boost of energy when I drink this juice and the effects seem to last beyond just the day I drink it. These ingredients each offer some special benefits to the body (noted below the recipe).
This recipe below makes 1 glass of juice (as pictured) about 8-ish oz. and provides a sweet taste from the carrot, a rich earthy flavor from the turmeric root and a bit of a kick from the ginger.
Ingredients
3 organic Carrots, washed with skin on
2 1″ pieces of organic Turmeric root, washed with skin on
1 small piece of organic Ginger root, washed with skin on
Instructions
Put each veggie in a colander and rinse all veggies well in cold water then take a vegetable brush to each item followed by a good final rinse.
Once everything is washed and cut, you are ready to start juicing. Get your pulp bowl and juice catcher in place and start juicing by feeding the items down the chute. I put the veggies in my chute in this order: Ginger first, Turmeric second and Carrots last. You may not see any juice coming out till you put the carrots thru the chute as the ginger and turmeric don’t make a lot of juice, but they do contribute a lot of flavor!
