Carrot Ginger Juice
This default blender preparation stays unstrained and keeps all edible pulp; sweet carrots and orange balance fresh ginger's heat while lemon keeps it crisp.
Non-alcoholicMake it like a pro.
- 01
Cut the carrots, orange, lemon, and ginger into small blender-friendly pieces.
- 02
Add the cold water and chopped produce to a high-powered blender, then blend until as smooth as possible, about 60 to 90 seconds.
- 03
Stir, divide the full unstrained blend equally between two glasses, and serve immediately. Straining or using a juicer removes some pulp and changes the nutrition, so those methods are not represented by the estimate shown here.

Carrot Ginger Juice FAQs
Why does my carrot ginger juice have pulp?
The recipe blends whole prepared carrots with orange, peeled lemon, ginger, and water, so some pulp is expected. Blend longer for a finer drink and add a little water if the mixture is too dense. Straining turns it into a different juice with a different yield and nutrition profile.
Can I strain this carrot ginger juice?
Yes, if you prefer a thinner drink without carrot pulp. First blend the carrots, orange, lemon, and ginger thoroughly, then pass the mixture through a fine sieve. The recipe's nutrition assumes that all edible pulp stays in the glass, so it will not describe the strained version.
Do carrots need to be peeled for juice?
Not necessarily. Scrub them thoroughly and trim both ends. Peel only when the skin is bitter, damaged, or heavily marked.
