Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the carrot juice immediately at room temperature or over ice. It works well with breakfast, brunch, sandwiches, salads, or fresh fruit. Add a squeeze of lemon immediately before drinking when you prefer a fresher, sharper flavour.Recipe Notes
Organic carrots should still be washed thoroughly before juicing. Peeling is unnecessary when the carrots are clean and undamaged. Fresh juice contains less fibre than whole carrots, so it should complement rather than replace intact vegetables.Variations
Add fresh ginger, lemon, orange, cucumber, celery, turmeric, or mint. Apple creates a sweeter juice, while lemon and ginger provide a sharper flavour. Adding fruit will generally increase the natural sugar content.Storage
Fresh carrot juice is best consumed immediately. When storage is necessary, refrigerate it in a clean airtight bottle and use it within 24 hours. Fill the bottle almost completely to reduce exposure to air and shake before serving.Wine Advice
Wine is unnecessary with fresh carrot juice. When serving it as part of a larger brunch, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc can accompany the food served alongside the juice.Nutrition values
