Ingredients & Notes

• Carrots. Easy to find at any time of the year and are a great affordable vegetable. Make sure you are using fresh carrots for sweetness and the best flavor.
• Oranges. Fresh, sweet oranges are best for juicing. So use whichever best quality oranges are seasonal and available to you. You can use any type of orange for this recipe including Naval oranges, Valencia oranges, Spanish oranges, or Cara Cara oranges.

Optional Additions

• Fresh ginger. I like to add a small knob of fresh ginger for a little extra flavor and kick. As well as some additional nutrients!
• Other juices. You could also add some fresh lemon juice and/or pineapple juice to add some brightness to your juice.
• Sweetness. If your orange carrot juice is not sweet enough for your preference, you can add some honey or apple juice to sweeten it.

Another delicious juice combination is carrot and mango. If you like the sound of that then check out our delicious and easy Carrot Mango Juice recipe!

How To Make Homemade Fresh Carrot Orange Juice

This juice is so easy to make and contains just two simple ingredients: fresh carrots and fresh oranges. Both the ingredients are prepped and then placed in a juicer. You can find more details in the step-by-step instructions beow or in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

STEP THREE

Once juiced, refrigerate or serve immediately.

How to make Orange Carrot Juice without a Juicer (Blender Method)

1. Cut the oranges in half and juice them. Then pour the juice into your blender.
2. Trim the ends off your carrots and roughly chop them into 1-inch chunks. Add them to the blender.
3. Blend on high for about a minute. Then place a fine sieve or nut milk bag over a bowl/jug. Pour batches of the juice through the sieve/bag and allow the juice to strain.
4. Pour into serving glasses and enjoy immediately or place in the fridge for later use!

Serving Suggestions

I find this juice best-served cold, but it can also be served immediately. Just pour it into a glass and enjoy as is or add some ice cubes for an extra refreshing touch.

Alterations or Substitutions: This juice can easily be adapted according to your preferences. You can make this juice recipe a bit sweeter by using more oranges or adding fresh apples/apple juice. Or you could add celery to your juice to get even more vegetables in.

Ginger is also an optional addition as it adds a zesty kick that works perfectly with oranges and carrots. Fresh ginger also adds even more health benefits which is always a good thing!

Does Carrot Juice Reduce Weight?

Carrot juice is great for weight loss. It has an incredibly high fiber content which helps you feel fuller for longer. A glass of carrot and orange juice only contains about 200 calories and tons of health benefits.

Is It OK To Drink Carrot Juice On An Empty Stomach?

Carrot and orange juice can be enjoyed any time of the day. I love kicking off my day with fresh breakfast juice but carrot juice has also been shown to also aid in sleep. So really any time of day is perfect. Drinking carrot juice on an empty stomach is really good for you as your body will absorb more of the nutrients much faster.
