kcalYou can put carrots into a blender for a whole-food juice. You just need to invite several other ingredients to the party. Brighten it up with lemon and ginger. Add water and ice to make it less thick. And if you like it sweet, add some pineapple. All together, you get the best Vitamix blender carrot juice. This juice blend is quite refreshing, is nutrient-rich, and because you retain all the fiber, it produces much less waste than a slow juicer. Use it as a morning energizer or midday refresher. It’s named invigorating citrus carrot juice for a reason.

3 cups (675 g) pineapple, peeled and cut into chunks

1 Tablespoon (6 g) fresh ginger, peeled (optional)

Wow, wow, wow.
This was my first of your Vitamix recipes I made, and it is the most delicious juices EVER.
It’s kinda got a pineapple orange creamsicle taste without the oranges, so refreshingThis is very delicious! I was all out of greens, so I went for this recipe. I got a little off the recipe and squeezed a small orange in in addition to the lemon. It was an accident, but sure turned out great! I wish I could get fresh ginger in my small town, but it is always old if even available. Thanks for another healthy, tasty recipe.
Try buying a large bulb of ginger then peel and cut it into 1” pieces before freezing. Just take them out a piece at a time to use – just like fresh ginger!
I prefer to juice the carrots and lemon in a juicer; then add the juice and other ingredients to the Vitamix. This avoids the pulpy taste common with carrots.
Delicious on a hot summer day.
Interesting. Does sound delicious and gets you the benefit of whole food other ingredients!
I’m a new Vitamix owner, just received it yesterday! I tried to make a carrot juice from their recipe book with water, carrots, lemon juice and I added ginger and a clementine.
It seemed more pulpy than I would expect a juice to be so I blended it longer. Still not much better so I did it again and added more water. The end result was a warm, thicker liquid that I wasn’t so jazzed about.
I’m just wondering, is this what juice is like when you use a Vitamix? Does the juice usually need to be refrigerated before drinking or did I blend too long? I’m just not sure what to expect from this! Thanks!
Whole food juices are naturally going to be a bit thicker than an extracted juice.
Next time instead of adding water, consider adding ice. Same idea, but will get you a cold result.
A couple of juices to try: I am Spicy Hot — fabulous. Lower Back Pain Relief Juice — also great.
