As a health professional, I hear it all the time—when the colder months roll in, colds, flu, and other viruses seem to tag along. That’s why I created this carrot juice recipe, a delicious way to pack in immune-supporting nutrients while staying refreshed.

Prioritizing your health doesn’t have to be complicated: focus on sleep, enjoy plenty of fruits and veggies, stay active, manage stress, and avoid cigarette smoke. And if you’re looking for more, my Green Juice with Celery is another sip-worthy way to give your immune system some love.

Besides eating various foods, I also love homemade juices as a quick strategy to keep nourished. Juices are a great way to give your body an antioxidant boost – especially with this super-tasty carrot juice. I love the fact that it’s not overly sweet or pungent, it’s simple to pull off and quickly gives me the nutrition I need for both prevention and recovery.

Tips for Enjoying Fresh Vegetable Juice as Part of a Balanced Diet

Juices can be a delicious way to include more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Here are some tips to make the most of them:

• Go Heavy on Veggies – Focus on a mix that’s about 80% vegetables and 20% fruits for a nutrient-packed juice without overloading on natural sugars.
• Mind Your Portions – Start with a small serving and adjust based on your needs. Juices are concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
• Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats – Add a handful of nuts, seeds, or a boiled egg on the side to create a balanced snack and help slow the absorption of natural sugars.
• Stay Hydrated – Keep your water intake up throughout the day to support your body and overall well-being.

How to make it

Five ingredients and two steps are all that’s needed to make this carrot juice.

Thoroughly wash and prep all your fruits and vegetables (Images 1-3) according to your juicer’s instructions, then let the juicing magic begin (Images 4-6).

Food Safe Storage

Fresh is best, but if you’ve got leftovers, no worries! Pour your juice into a mason jar (or any airtight container) and pop it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good shake before sipping because, yep, juice separation is a thing. Want to keep it even longer? Freeze it in cute little portions so you’re always just a thaw away from a refreshing sip!
