DIY Carrot Juice!


It is almost Easter! I don't really celebrate but I think it is a perfect opportunity
 for all of us to turn into little bunnies and consume as many carrots as possible!
Here is a super easy recipe without a juicer or vitamix! 




  • 4 carrots
  • 1 cup water
  • A sieve
  • A food processor
  • A bowl
  • About 1 tsp fresh ginger





1. Wash and Chop your carrots into carrot discs!
You can chop the discs in half if you please.




2. Put the carrot discs into your food processor and pulse until
it resembles carrot foam. It should be pretty fine but it doesn't have 
to be smooth. Just in really tiny pieces.
You will see the juices already!


You might have to scrape down the sides a couple times with a spatula. 


3. Add your water and leave on for a couple minutes!
You can add a slice of ginger now, but I grated it in at the end
to control the taste.




4. Place your sieve on top of your bowl and add your carrot mash!



5. The juices will start to drain immediately, but we can speed it up by
pushing the mash through the sieve. I even picked it up and squeezed
the juices out of it, which helped a whole lot. I got about a cup of juice.




6. Now for the ginger!
Grate about a teaspoon of ginger into the juice, and mix it in well!


7. Serve!
This stuff is so refreshing. I love it!



I hope you enjoy!

Until next time, Little Bunnies,
