APPLE CARROT GINGER ELIXIR

Revitalise your body with this Apple Carrot Ginger Elixir, a refreshing and nutrient-dense drink designed to support digestion, immunity and overall wellbeing. This vibrant blend of fresh apple, crisp carrot and spicy ginger creates a harmonious balance of natural sweetness and warming spice, making it an energising and health-boosting beverage. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, essential for eye health and skin radiance. Apples provide natural sweetness along with dietary fibre to aid digestion, while ginger delivers powerful anti-inflammatory properties and promotes gut health. Hydrating and packed with antioxidants, this elixir is an excellent way to start the morning, recover post-workout or enjoy as an afternoon pick-me-up. With only a few simple ingredients, this easy-to-make juice is a delicious and effective way to fuel your body with essential nutrients.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this apple-carrot ginger elixir.

  • For A Stronger Ginger Flavour: Let the grated ginger sit in water for a few minutes before blending to enhance its essence.
  • If Using A Juicer: Simply press the ingredients through a juicer for a more refined texture while retaining maximum nutrients.
  • To Enhance Natural Sweetness: Use a red apple variety like Fuji or Gala instead of tart apples.
  • Drink On An Empty Stomach: Drink in the morning to maximise absorption and digestive benefits.
  • For A Chilled Version: Blend with ice or use refrigerated ingredients for a more refreshing experience.
  • To Reduce Oxidation: Add a few drops of lemon juice before serving to preserve freshness.

VARIATIONS

  • Boost Detox Effects: Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra cleansing properties and a refreshing citrus kick.
  • Increase Hydration: Replace water with coconut water to replenish electrolytes and minerals.
  • Make It A Smoothie: Blend with half a banana or a few ice cubes for a thicker, creamier texture.
  • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of turmeric and a golden hue for additional anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Enhance Digestion: Mix in a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to aid gut health and promote better digestion.
  • Add A Herbal Touch: Blend in fresh mint leaves for a cooling, refreshing flavour that pairs well with ginger.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking, as natural separation will occur.
  • Freezing: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Blend frozen cubes with fresh water when ready to enjoy for a quick, nutrient-rich juice.
  • Batch Prep: To save time, prepare multiple servings and store them in individual bottles for convenient grab-and-go options.
  • Preserve Freshness: If making it in advance, store it in a glass jar with a tight lid to reduce oxidation and retain maximum nutrient content.
