Carrot juice recipe for kids & toddlers – Carrot juice can be made in a blender or juicer very easily at home. Carrot is one of the most versatile root vegetables which is used in so many ways in our day to day diet. No doubt juicing carrots is the best way to provide vital nutrients to our body.
Consuming raw carrots regularly or often helps in improving the health of the eyes, reduces stress and builds immunity.
We juice carrots sometimes when the kids ask for it or when I end up having too many carrots in the fridge. The taste of the juice depends on the variety & age of carrots used.
Young and tender carrots are best for juicing since the aroma is mild and taste delicious.
Benefits
Fresh juice is alkaline and can help folks with digestive or acidity problems. Carrots can be juiced alone or with some citrus fruit like orange, grapefruit, tangerines or lemons.
Not all fruits go well with carrot, so we mostly make them with sweet oranges, pears or lemon.
This juice is an immune booster and is great to keep away cold and flu. Citrus fruits, ginger, honey, turmeric and basil are some of the ingredients you can try to add to this drink.
Even wheatgrass, orange, carrots make a great combo. You can also make a carrot smoothie the same way. Just use as much fruits or tender coconut water as needed while you blend. You can also add a banana to it.
If you prefer chilled juice, always chill the ingredients first and then use. Do not chill after they are juiced as there will be loss of nutrients due to oxidization. The taste too alters.

what does one do after using a juicer to extrect the carrot juice
where can one use the left over pulp ? please advise your ideas
rgds;iqbal
Hi,
With slow juicer, the carrot pulp is just tasteless and other than fiber there is nothing left in it. It is good to use as compost.
If made in a blender, may be it can be used for patties.
i can’ t see the pic only for carrot juice
Hi Thanuja,
Do you mean step by step pictures?
Hi Swathi!
Should the lemon be added just like that? Wont it get bitter?
Or is it just the lon juice?
Hi Lavanya
Pour the lemon juice. Don’t put the whole lemon
Please help with recipes and methods
I have mentioned all the details in the recipe card.
Hope that helps
I received a juicer as a gift from my boyfriend and this is the first juice I made. I loved it, light and refreshing and I love the color.

I would like to get Indian cooking recipes to make my life sweet.
Hi Swasthi, m giving this carrot juice to my 3 year old daughter. Can I give her this daily and can I add honey to sweeten it??
Hi Shaila
Yes you can give it 4 times a week with honey. But i guess you will have to add a lot to sweeten the drink.
Not daily??
Try to include other kinds of juices as well. Carrot juice is devoid of fibers, so i suggest eating them regularly but juicing only 3 to 4 times
Thanks
Carrot juice given daily may cause hypervitaminosis A
It gives a yellowish colouration to the skin
Thanks Dr. Radhika
Tanz alot
