After spending long hours on our phones or computers, our eyes feel dry, our energy drops, and our skin loses its glow. Luckily, we can make a simple, refreshing drink at home: apple carrot juice.
This juice is sweet, smooth, and packed with vitamins. It helps relieve eye fatigue, boosts immunity, supports digestion, and even improves skin health. Let’s go step by step to make this easy and nutritious drink together.
What We’re Making
Apple carrot juice is a natural, healthy drink made from fresh apples, carrots, lemon, and a little honey. Carrots provide vitamin A, which protects our vision and supports immunity. Apples add natural sweetness, aroma, and pectin—a fiber that helps our digestive system. Lemon juice keeps the apple from browning and adds a fresh tang. This combination makes a tasty, nutrient-packed drink suitable for the whole family.
Ingredients
To make one large glass (about 500ml) of apple carrot juice, we need:
- 1 red apple (about 150g, crisp and juicy)
- 1 medium carrot (about 120g, bright orange)
- ½ lemon (about 80g)
- 15ml honey (optional, adjust to taste)
- 500ml warm water
All ingredients are easy to find and can be adjusted depending on personal taste or serving size.
Step 1: Wash and Peel
1. Wash the apple and carrot thoroughly under running water.
2. Peel the apple and remove the core. Cut it into small cubes, roughly 1–2cm in size.
3. Peel the carrot and cut it into similar-sized cubes.
4. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out about 10ml of juice from one half. Remove seeds.
These steps prepare our ingredients for smooth blending and ensure the juice tastes fresh and vibrant.
Step 2: Chop Into Small Pieces
To get a creamy, smooth juice, we need small, uniform pieces. Chop the apple and carrot into cubes about the size of peanuts. This helps the blender process the fruits evenly. At this stage, we can also admire the bright colors—the orange carrot and red apple already look delicious together.
Step 3: Blend Everything
1. Put the apple and carrot cubes into a high-speed blender.
2. Add the lemon juice. This prevents oxidation and keeps the juice bright.
3. Pour in 500ml of warm water. Warm water makes the juice gentle for our stomachs.
4. If we like a sweeter taste, add 15ml of honey.
5. Blend everything for 2–3 minutes until the juice is smooth, creamy, and free of coarse chunks.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
1. Pour the juice into a glass or favorite cup.
2. Take a moment to enjoy the bright orange color and fresh aroma.
3. Drink immediately for the best taste and nutrients. Fresh juice is most flavorful and effective when consumed right away.
This juice is perfect for breakfast, a mid-day energy boost, or a relaxing afternoon treat.
Tips for the Best Apple Carrot Juice
1. Choose carrots that are bright orange, straight, and not too thick. Small cores taste sweeter.
2. One glass a day is enough. Too much carrot can slightly yellow the skin.
3. Add lemon juice immediately after peeling the apple to prevent browning.
4. Drink fresh juice immediately—don’t store too long. Even with lemon, freshness matters.
5. If we want more fiber, we can keep the pulp. Modern blenders make the pulp very fine, so the texture is smooth and easy to drink.
