Garlic Kissed Carrot Juice

Wednesday October 8, 2008 :: by Ingrid

This drink recipe, which I have modified, is from my ebook Raw Epicurean Beverages - 101 Fresh Organic Recipes.

A simple glass of fresh carrot juice is a nutritious drink on its own, but when you add the benefits of fresh garlic, turmeric powder, and top it off with some fresh squeezed lemon juice, it converts into a healing powerhouse in a glass.

This drink is exceptionally high in vitamin A, minerals, and other nutrients. The fresh-juiced garlic with all its benefits adds a surprisingly nice light flavor, and it is not overpowering. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory and purifying properties, and the extra dose of vitamin C from the lemon juice bring to this drink more bonuses.

The goldmine of nutrients and antioxidants within this juice make it well worth including in your diet, and it is also a delicious way to help prevent and battle a cold.

Garlic Kissed Carrot Juice

Experiment with the amount of garlic to suit your taste. Start with one clove and go from there. Personally, I love the flavor of garlic and use two cloves; I find the flavor to be just right.

Push the carrots and garlic clove(s) through a juicer. Add the lemon and turmeric and stir.

Serve immediately or chill the drink in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Serves 1-2

   When I was little, my mom always mixed carrot juice with freshly squeezed orange juice, and it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with that concoction.

   I’ll have to try your lovely version, using garlic and turmeric. Thank you.

   Marysol - yum, carrot and orange juice is so good. I hope you will try my version and let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
