Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples
- 3 medium carrots
- 0.5 medium lemon
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Wash the apples and carrots thoroughly under running water to remove dirt or residues.
Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler. If using organic apples, you can leave the skin on; otherwise, peel the apples.
Core the apples and cut them into quarters.
Chop the carrots into smaller chunks for easier blending or juicing.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from half of it. Remove any seeds.
If using a juicer: Feed the apple and carrot chunks into the juicer, alternating between the two. Collect the juice in a container.
If using a blender: Add the apples, carrots, lemon juice, and water to the blender. Blend on high until smooth.
For the blender method, strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag to remove the pulp. Use a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible.
Taste the juice and, if desired, stir in honey to sweeten.
Pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest flavor. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
