Homemade Tomato Carrot Juice Recipe
Discover a delightful recipe for Tomato Carrot Juice, blending the sweetness of tomatoes and carrots with a hint of zesty lemon. Perfect as a healthy breakfast substitute or a nutritious snack!
Main Ingredients
- 150g cherry tomatoes (choose fresh and ripe ones)
- 400g carrots (select firm and fresh carrots)
- 450g ice water (use cold water to enhance the juice’s chill)
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed lemon juice adds the best flavor)
- 1.5 Tbsp honey (adjust to taste or omit if preferred)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the cherry tomatoes under running water and remove their stems. Fresh ingredients are the foundation of a delicious juice.
Step 2
Next, peel the carrots and cut them into pieces that are slightly smaller than bite-sized to ensure they blend smoothly. Cutting the carrots too large can strain your blender, so the right size is key.
Step 3
Now, prepare your blender and add all 400g of the cut carrots. Carrots are the primary source of nutrients and vibrant color in this juice.
Step 4
Add the cherry tomatoes to the blender as well; they contribute a natural sweetness. The lycopene in tomatoes is excellent for your health.
Step 5
Pour in about 450g of ice water to achieve a chilled and smooth consistency for your juice. You can use regular cold water if you don’t have ice water.
Step 6
Measure and add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice for a refreshing zest. Lemon juice cuts through any potential richness and enhances the overall flavor profile.
Step 7
Finally, add 1.5 tablespoons of honey to adjust the sweetness. You can also use agave nectar or corn syrup, or omit the sweetener altogether if you prefer to rely on the natural sweetness of the vegetables and fruits.
Step 8
Once all ingredients are in the blender, secure the lid tightly and blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Your delicious Tomato Carrot Juice is ready to be served immediately. Pour into a glass and enjoy chilled!
