Carrot Juice Recipe

Carrots: These are the main ingredient, providing a sweet and earthy flavor along with a vibrant orange color.

Ginger: Adds a spicy kick and numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties.

Lemon: Brings a tangy freshness to the juice, balancing the sweetness of the carrots and the spice of the ginger.
