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.

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??
swasthi says
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.
Shaila dudalkar says
Not daily??
swasthi says
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
Shaila dudalkar says
Thanks
Dr Radhika says
Carrot juice given daily may cause hypervitaminosis A
It gives a yellowish colouration to the skin
