Recipe for Morning Carrot Elixir

Servings Prep Time Cook Time Total Time
2 15 min — 15 min

Ingredients

  • 4–6 large carrots – Scrubbed (not peeled) to retain phytonutrients in the skin.
  • 1 tbsp ACV – Unpasteurized to retain "mother" culture probiotics.
  • 1-inch ginger root – Peeled and finely grated.
  • 1/2 lemon (juiced) – Enhances iron absorption and adds vitamin C.
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric (optional) – Boosts anti-inflammatory effects.
  • 1 cup filtered water – Adjust for desired consistency.

Directions

  1. Wash all produce thoroughly.
  2. Juice Extraction: Process carrots through a masticating juicer (e.g., Omega or Kuvings) to maximize nutrient retention. Centrifugal juicers may oxidize nutrients faster.
  3. Infusion: Whisk ACV, lemon juice, and grated ginger into the fresh carrot juice. Let sit for 5 minutes to activate phytochemicals.
  4. Emulsify: Blend with water and turmeric (if using) for 10 seconds to stabilize the mixture.
