Simple Homemade Juice Recipe

I enjoy simple juice recipes with few ingredients, plus the added benefit of using up produce before it goes bad.

This recipe should cost just under $10 and provide about six mason jars of fresh juice.

Benefit of each ingredient…

Carrots: Rich in beta-carotene, which supports immune health, vision, and skin while adding natural sweetness without added sugar.

Celery: Hydrating and high in potassium, helping support fluid balance and keep the juice light, not overly sweet.

Apples: Provide antioxidants and vitamin C, plus a mild sweetness that makes the juice easier to drink consistently.

Ginger: Supports digestion and helps reduce inflammation, especially helpful for bloating or sluggish digestion.

Lemon: Adds vitamin C and supports digestion while brightening the flavor and helping your body absorb nutrients more effectively.

Full recipe

Ingredients:

• About 2 lbs of carrots

• About 8-10 celery stalks

• 2 apples (any variety), quartered

• 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger

• 1/2 lemon, peeled

• 1/4 to 1/2 cup water (only if using a blender)

Instructions:

Juicer: Push all the ingredients through a juicer.

Blender: Put all the ingredients (including about a 1/2 cup of water) into the blender and blend - afterwards, squeeze the liquid through a cheese or painter cloth or a wire strainer.

Drink immediately on ice or store for up to 24 hours in mason jars.

This juice won’t fix everything, but it’s a solid, affordable way to support your body on days when you need a quick reset.
