This fresh homemade carrot ginger juice with oranges is sweet, zesty and high in vitamins and immunity boosting power with carrots, oranges and ginger. Make this recipe in a blender.
Homemade carrot ginger juice with oranges is wonderful both in flavor and nutritional power. And nutritionally they are stronger together. The vitamin C from the orange juice helps the body absorb more vitamin A from the carrot juice. And the ginger helps them both boost the body's immunity. That's teamwork!
I recommend this juice once a week, and to include it a weekly rotation along with celery juice, beetroot juice, cucumber lemon juice and homemade orange juice.

FAQS
No, you should scrub the carrots so the obvious dirt is removed, but you don't need to scrap off the skin.
Yes, but don't exceed 4 ounces a day to avoid getting too much beta-carotene which is good for you generally, but too much can cause an orange tinge from over-consumption of beta-carotene.
Blender juices have more fiber and the machine is accessible and easy to clean. Juicers create a clearer juice, but the machine is expensive, only useful for one task and is hard to clean.
It takes about 10 long carrots or 3 cup of small carrots to get 1 cup carrot juice.
Yes, while carrot juice has natural sugars, it doesn't have fiber which would slow sugar absorption, so that is another reason to be careful how much carrot juice you drink daily.
