This Carrot, Apple, and Celery Juice is your morning bet on your sight, skin, and immune system. Who doesn’t want to make sure their eyes keep doing their job, their skin keeps glowing, and their body keeps viruses and harmful bacteria away?

We drink juices every morning. We experienced a dramatic difference in our health and daily routine since we adopted the juicing routine.

Carrots and celery might seem like an unlikely combo, but when you blend them they taste just right. A lot of people have a hard time drinking vegetables in juice form, so this is a good option for those who do not like the pulp in their vegetable drinks. The juice does yield quite a bit, but drinking it is a great way to pack your body with nutrients.

Drinking celery and Carrot juice has been known for years as an energy booster but drinking it is just as beneficial and is extremely nutritious. You can drink this any time of the day whether you’re drinking it alone or drinking it as a mix with other juices.

The carrot and celery combo are a little sweet due to the carrots, but drinking it is a good way to get in your daily servings of vegetables.

Lined Organic Carrots

Many people have been drinking or eating vegetables in juice form for years, and drinking celery and carrot juice is one of the most popular out there. If you drink this on its own you only need to add a little ice to thin it out, but drinking this as a mix with fruits is also good.

We add apples and ginger for extra sweetness and zing! Apple juice is naturally sweet and full of antioxidants!

Your body really rewards you with optimal health and well-being.

See the recipe card for quantities.

How to Make Carrot Apple and Celery Juice

Step 1: wash and rinse your produce

Depending on the Juicer you have, you may be able to throw everything in the Juicer without cutting it; or just roughly cutting your produce in big chunks. If not, take out the core of the apple and the tops of the carrots. You don’t need to peel carrots.

Step 2: Juice Your ingredients

Most juicers work the same way, where you insert the fruit or veggie into a chute, and the freshly squeezed juice comes out. However, this may vary depending on your juicer.

Start introducing all the ingredients, combining the leaves and solids, to prevent the juicer from getting stuck.

If you want to thin the juice a little, you can add about half a cup of water in the juicer aperture, so it drags some of the rest of the fruit and veggies.

You may want to add some lemon drops on top to add some acidity. Add ice if you like to have it cold.

Step 3: Store (if not drinking immediately)

You can reserve the carrot juice for of to 24 hours in a mason jar.

Absorption of Carotenoids present in your Carrots

Our body’s absorption of the carotenoids present in vegetables like carrots and spinach are positively affected by soluble fats. This means that adding some healthy fats to your breakfast will enhance the absorption of your juice nutrients. Think almonds.

Make sure to eat carrots and spinach with some healthy oil such as avocados, coconut oil when cooked, or extra virgin oil in your salads to enhance the absorption of the carotenoids.

We like eating about five organic almonds with our morning carrot juice; this provides some extra fiber and good oils and energy sources first thing in the morning!

Blood Pressure and Carrot Celery Juice

Carrot celery juice is one of the most popular juice recipes for people with high blood pressure.

When drinking carrot juice, you can lower blood pressure. This is due to the high content of potassium. High levels of potassium are associated with low blood pressure.

Celery is a well-known natural diuretic. It removes excess fluid from the body and has a mild blood pressure-lowering effect.

The Juice is also great for people on a weight loss regime, as it has celery which helps to fight the body’s inflammation, it has no added sugar, and low calories.

Apples Health benefits

Apples are rich in phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals. They contain antioxidants, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties mainly due to those flavonoids and polyphenols they contain.

As a food apples should be part of everyone’s diet, helping prevent heart disease and cancer as well as other conditions like diabetes or arthritis.

Apples are high in dietary fiber, have zero fat or cholesterol. They also contain a large amount of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and potassium. The tannins found in apples are responsible for fighting free radicals that can lead to cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses.

Today you can find apples year-round but the fall season is when they are at their best. That’s when we eat apple pies and make tons of applesauce!

Why Juicing?

Juicing for health is a great way to get your fair share of vitamins in your body efficiently and fast, first thing in the morning. However, It would be challenging to get all the nutrients of these ingredients in the morning chewing celery, apple, carrots, and ginger.

Apple, Beet and Carrot Juice Liver Tonic

A healthy liver is a vitally important element of good health, yet most of us seldom pay it much attention unless we are forced to. With an estimated 30 million Americans affected by liver disease this is a serious and growing health problem.

While this apple, beet and carrot juice recipe can’t make up for a diet full of fast food and excessive alcohol, it is a recognized liver tonic and rejuvenator that may help to ease the burden on your body’s master cleansing organ and improve the way you look and feel.

For many people, their poor overworked liver puts a lot of effort into filtering and detoxifying all the dietary and environmental pollutants that get sent to it each day.

Once the level of these toxins starts to get too high for the liver to deal with on its own, it will recruit your skin into trying to get rid of the excess, often leading to skin problems and dark circles under the eyes. Regular headaches and a general tiredness and lethargy can also be symptoms of a liver under strain.

Making up and drinking a blend of carrot, beet and apple juice fresh is a simple and effective way to help cleanse your liver and increase the rate that you process toxins out of your body.

The Magic of Fresh Juice

Quite unlike heat-treated and sugary commercial juice, fresh fruit and vegetable juices are full of powerful enzymes, antioxidants and other nutrients that you can feel within minutes of having them. In fact, drinking freshly extracted juice has been compared to having an energy transfusion from the plants involved into your body’s cells.

Since there is so little digestion required, this is one of the quickest ways to deliver nutrients to important organs like your liver. Fresh vegetable juices in particular are so powerful they are often central components of natural treatments for various diseases and have a cleansing and rejuvenating effect throughout your body.

One important thing to note with fresh juices is that they don’t keep. While fresh lime is added to this carrot juice recipe to help prevent oxidization, it really is best to drink it immediately after making it for maximum benefit.

Here’s an interesting video showing how to make daily liver tonic.

Liver Tonic Ingredients for 2

3 large or 4 medium organic carrots

Carrot juice is highly alkalizing to your body and helps flush your liver of toxic waste materials that can accumulate there. These alkaline properties and its wealth of vitamins and minerals are also believed to help cleanse your blood of contaminants and improve your eyes and skin.

Freshly juiced carrots are one of the best known sources of pro-vitamin A beta-carotene and alpha-carotene for protecting your body from free radical damage. These antioxidant nutrients are converted to vitamin A when needed and are actually stored within your liver’s cells.

Low levels of it are usually found in patients with liver disease like cirrhosis and it’s important to get a proper amount of vitamin A for good health in general.

Carrot juice is also a great source of vitamin C, vitamin K and various B vitamins. Additionally, they can be rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium and trace minerals like molybdenum and copper if grown in decent soils. One way to increase the chances of a high mineral content is to choose organic carrots. Carrots are one of those vegetables you really want to get grown organically if you value your health.

1 large or 2 small organic apples

Organic is best as apples are often sprayed with pesticides you really don’t want in your body. Especially as we are trying to help the liver here rather than add to its burdens. At very least, soak your apples in hot water and vinegar and scrub them well.

Aside from all of the other apple health benefits, they are a great general detoxifier and are rich in pectin. Pectin is a type of fiber that binds to toxins in your intestines as they are digested so they can be safely excreted, well before your liver has to deal with them.

In this way, eating apples regularly, as well as using them in special juices and smoothies will help ease the workload on your liver and improve your overall health.

The juice from a fresh lime

Aside from the high levels of vitamin C and great finishing tang, fresh lime is added into the juice collector before juicing to help prevent oxidization.

1 organic beet

Beets or beetroot are a rich source of phytonutrients like betanin that have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, coupled with a stimulating effect on the various detoxification pathways of your body and especially your liver.

Betaine is another nutrient identified in beets that promotes the flow of bile for better digestion and improves liver detoxification. In fact, beetroot juice is so powerful it is even believed to help regenerate liver cells and clear fatty deposits caused by years of alcohol consumption.

Optional: An inch-long piece of ginger.

Ginger contains compounds to stimulate better digestion and may help protect your liver from oxidative damage that can play a part in diseases like liver fibrosis and developing a fatty liver.

It’s optional if you don’t like the fiery ginger kick, but good to have if you can. I often add double this amount, but ginger is an ingredient you’ll really notice so start off with a smaller piece and see if you like it.

How to Make an Apple, Beet and Carrot Juice Liver Tonic

You obviously need a juicer to make up fresh juice and the better quality ones will not only last longer, they’ll deliver a larger quantity and a more nutrient rich juice. Masticating Juicers are far and away the best type and better value for both your wallet and your health in the long run if you juice regularly.

Before you start juicing, put a couple of ice cubes and the squeezed juice from your lime (minus the pips) into the bottom of the collection jug. Depending on the size of your juicer feed you may have to chop the apples and beet into halves or quarters, though most juicers these day should handle the carrots whole.

Wash and scrub your ingredients then turn on your juicer and start with the beet. Next juice the carrots and ginger if you’re using it, followed by the apples last. It’s almost a shame to mix up the brilliant colors in the collection jug but it will taste better well blended.

Enjoy your fresh apple, beet and carrot juice straight away. It’s good to sip it slowly and savor it on your tongue for a bit before swallowing it.

Conclusion

Drinking this liver tonic and detox juice a couple of days a week for a fortnight should have some noticeable effects on your mood and energy levels and start to improve the tone of your skin.

You may end up liking it so much that you want to have it long-term and see just what it can do to improve your liver’s function and by association your appearance, general immunity and ultimately your overall health.
