This is the perfect time of year to start thinking about making permanent lifestyle changes.  Not diets, but small changes in your lifestyle that will last forever.  This Detox Carrot Drink will be that first step in the right direction!

Detox Carrot Drink is the perfect start to your clean eating lifestyle!

This time of year is the most popular time for juice cleanses, restrictive diets and other fads that promise huge results in a short amount of time.  They might work for the short term, but inevitably most people gain the weight back.  

Some even gain MORE weight back because they were feeling so deprived.  I am a huge fan of eating everything in moderation, but I also believe that the beginning of a new year is a great time to reevaluate health habits.  

I am not advising to drink this juice (and only this juice) all day for a week with no food.  That is too restrictive and most likely leads to overindulging once the “cleanse” is over.  

This juice makes the perfect supplement to a clean eating lifestyle.

With all of the vitamins and minerals in this juice it also acts as an immune system booster.  And with all the sickness and flus going around, we all could use something to boost our immune systems.

Germs are everywhere these days, especially when you have kids.  Sigh… I need to drink this STAT!

Isn’t this so pretty? Well it’s also super nutritious and good for you.

Carrots are loaded with Vitamin A and beta carotene which are loaded with antioxidants and help to fight off free radicals.

Oranges are packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants that help support your immune system and also gives you glowing skin.  With the cold winter air, I totally need some help with my skin these days.

Apples are filled with dietary fiber that helps keep you full.  They also contain phytonutrients that help regulate blood sugar levels.

Lemons are also loaded with Vitamin C and other flavanoids that help boost the immune system.  They also also alkalizing, which means that they help to restore the body’s pH.  

I drink a cup of warm lemon water most mornings before I eat anything or drink any green tea.

Turmeric is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.  I can’t say enough about turmeric.  It’s down right awesome.

Ginger is also another strong anti-inflammatory as well and has shown to boost energy levels (who couldn’t use that?!)  Ginger also helps aid digestion and helps settle an upset stomach.

Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is probably my favorite all around immune system booster.  Apple Cider Vinegar is a powerful antimicrobial and has proven to kill some forms of bacteria.  

It has also shown to help regulate blood sugar levels, which is helpful to diabetics.  Lastly, it also can aid in losing weight too.  

I take 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and dilute it on 6-8 ounces of water whenever I need a boost to my immune system.  I am not going to lie and tell you that it tastes delicious, that’s why I dilute it in water.  

There ARE people that do shots of this, guys! Not me.  But it works, I swear by it.

You need to be careful of drinking apple cider straight (not diluted) because it may erode too enamel as well.

This juice will help get you back on track, reduce bloat and help fight off those germs.  It also taste delicious too (which is always a bonus!)

Feel free to add some stevia, honey or 100% maple syrup if you need to add some sweetness.  I think it’s perfect the way it is but everyone likes different things.

Cheers to good health and to permanent changes!

If you made this delicious drink, please come back and let me know. You know I love to hear from you guys!

Thank you fort stooping by and please come back soon!

    Your recipe looks great but did you say lemons were alkalizing? I don’t think so. They have a pH of ~2 and are highly acidic.

      Thank you Mike! Yes, outside of the body lemon juice is acidic; inside the body after its minerals dissociate, its effect is alkalizing. So in fact, lemon juice is both acidic and alkalizing! I hope you like it!

      Hi Mich! Yes, I do know there is conflicting views on this. But lemons have so many nutritive properties that I love them!

    There have always been conflicting views to alkalizing effect of lemons and the “How can something acidic be alkalizing?” argument. It all comes down to whether the acidic food is anionic (look it up, Mich). Red meat and processed foods (though not acidic in nature) are extremely acid-promoting while fresh Lemon juice (acidic in nature) is anionic (one of the only true anionic foods in the world) and therefore produces an alkalizing effect on the body after the body metabolizes the juice. As an aside I’ve been drinking Lemon water every morning for past 4 yrs and have never felt better. Thanks for sharing this, Lauren

    Hi. Can you tell me how much lemon juice to drink each morning, and does it have to be fresh lemon or is the juice in the plastic lemon in the produce section at the grocery store okay? I’m guessing not, but wanted to check. I read somewhere else, recently, that drinking lemon water in the morning is great for your health, but I can’t remember where I read it!
    Can’t wait to make the carrot drink after I figure out where to buy tumeric root and ginger root? Does Publix have those??? Thanks!

      Hi MaryAnn! Fresh lemon is always best. As for turmeric and ginger root, you should be able to find ginger root in most grocery stores. If you can’t find turmeric root, you can easy use 1 teaspoon of the ground turmeric. Hope that helps!

    A question and a comment. How big and how many carrots to use for this drink using a blender? I only used about 6 carrots. They were 6-8 inches long about 1 inch in diameter at the big end. I just made this and it is delicious, but with all of these ingredients, especially 9 carrots, it ends making up a lot more than one serving. Should I cut the recipe in half? Suggestions?

      Hi Jon! I used 9 medium sized carrots and I used a vitamix. I would suggest either cutting it in half or saving the rest for later. I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

    Hello,

    I just found this recipe, and wanted to say I really loved how you included apple cider vinegar in it! I make lots of juice recipes, and have been considering fitting apple cider into the mix for its alkalizing and other awesome nutritional properties. To boot you got ginger and turmeric into a juice together! I’m going to have to give this one a shot, definitely a powerful juice!

    Cayenne is a great herb to use, but it is important to note to use * raw * or uantrsoed cayenne. It is called capiscum if you get it from an herbal/health food store. While it is still hot it is mostly bitter. Processed cooked cayenne loses most of it’s medicinal properties, is very hot, and will not heal the stomach (or body) the same as capiscum will. A great source of information for capiscum is Lalitha Thomas’s book: The 10 Essential Herbs. July 12, 2013 Sarah

    What a great recipe – thank you so much for sharing!! I was looking for a way to incorporate apple cider vinegar into something that tastes good and I think this is it. I’ve heard that carrots are also great protection against lung cancer which runs in my family – do you know if this is true?
