A Nutritional Punch!
As you can see, many of the health benefits of carrots and apples overlap.
With juicing recipes, since you are removing the fiber by juicing, your body can easily absorb the nutrition of the carrot drink.
Since the Carrot Apple Juice recipe gives the benefits of both carrots and apples, you are getting a real nutritionally dense drink in delicious form!
Even your children will love it!
Which Apples Work Best for This Juice Recipe?
Any apple will work great for my Carrot Apple Juice recipe. I like to buy what is on sale and often those are gala, red delicious or Granny Smith.
Since the Granny Smith apple variety has a tart flavor, it is a good choice if you prefer a juice that is not quite as sweet.
Do I Need to Refrigerate This Juice?
Yes, my Carrot Apple Juice recipe should be refrigerated after making it. I like to let it chill and then serve and drink it.
How Long Will Carrot Apple Juice Last?
Any juicing recipe made from freshly juiced produce should be refrigerated and consumed within 24 - 48 hours.
Carrot juice begins to oxidize. That means it will begin to lose nutrient value.
I normally only make the amount I know will be consumed in 24 hours. Besides, it tastes better the fresher it is.
Can I Drink This Carrot Apple Juice Recipe Daily?
Yes! There is no danger to drinking carrot apple juice daily. In fact, you may see related health benefits and feel better for drinking it!
Is Carrot Apple Juice Good For Weight Loss?
Weight loss occurs when you burn more calories that you take in. Low calorie, nutrient dense Carrot Apple Juice is a great aid to help you lose weight.
Since you are separating the fiber, the nutrients are more easily available for your body to absorb.
But, you are still getting some fiber and the fiber you get, along with the nutrients, help make you feel fuller for a longer period of time.
This means that you will not be tempted to reach for a not-so-good-for-you snack!
Carrot Apple Juice Recipe Variations
One of the nice things about this carrot juice recipe is its simplicity - there are only 2 ingredients. But, feel free to add others if you want.
Here are a few suggestions optional ingredients you can add:
- 1 stalks celery
- ¼ lemon
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger

Use your imagination and let the sky be the limit!
