These recipes are straightforward and foolproof and anyone can make them. My 8-year-old likes to make it and I just supervise her do it. It's that easy.

• Carrots are cheap and available all year round so one can make the juice any time.

Benefits of Carrot Juice

• Carrots contain over 85% water and a good source of fiber which helps in hydration and digestion.

• The carotenoids in them may help protect against cancer.

• They may lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.

• Carrots are good for weightloss because they have very low-fat content and you can substitute with high-calorie sugary drinks.

• They contain antioxidants that are good for the immune system.

Ingredients

Detailed ingredient list and directions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Carrots - I used orange carrots and that's what this post is based on. There are other varieties like black and purple carrots but I have not used those before for juicing. You can use baby or organic carrots. The baby ones taste milder.

Sugar or Honey - You can use caster sugar, granulated sugar, or honey. Honey is healthier than sugar and a tablespoon of honey contains 64 calories.

Water

Ice - This is optional but you can serve carrot juice and have it cold immediately if served on ice.

What else can you add

Some other ingredients that you can combine with carrots for drinking are listed below. All of these have their own benefits and mixing with carrots not only enhances the taste but added health benefits.

Ginger

Cucumber - Low calorie, hydrating, and nutrient-packed.

Apple - Sweet and healthy. Use red, green, or any sweet apple.

Orange - I like adding for citrusy taste and natural sweetening.

Milk - Whole milk, semi-skimmed, skimmed, or even coconut milk.

Tools

Blender - You can use a blender or smoothie maker. I used a blender to make the recipes in this post and it works fine.

Food processor - If not using a blender you can use a food processor.

Cheesecloth -To sieve the juice from the chaff.
