1 – Apple, Carrot and Ginger juice

This gets our number one pick for the best juicer recipe as it combines readily available, low cost fruits and vegetables for a really great taste.

The apples (we recommend royal galas but feel free to experiment) give this juice a sweet get tangy flavour which blends perfectly with the sweet and mellow flavour of the carrots .

This hearty beverage would be good enough without ginger (and some may prefer it this way) but we think this is what gives this juice it’s x-factor. Ginger brings out the flavours in the apples and carrots perfectly whilst awaking your senses.

This recipe is perfect at anytime of day but especially good in the mornings as it can kickstart your system.

Ginger has been used for culinary as well as medical purposes for thousands of years. It is thought to help with alleviating inflammation, pain and nausea.

We especially like this recipe during the winter as ginger helps to keep you warm, it is a diaphoretic meaning it promotes sweating.

  • 1 Apple, peeled or unpeeled depending on preference
  • 3 Large Carrots, scrubbed thoroughly
  • 10g of fresh Ginger, unpeeled
