Carrot Spinach Juice is a vibrant, nutrient-rich drink that I love making when I want something refreshing, detoxifying, and packed with vitamins. It blends the natural sweetness of carrots with the earthy freshness of spinach, creating a healthy juice that’s as energizing as it is hydrating. Whether I’m starting my morning or recharging in the afternoon, this juice gives me that clean, fresh boost I need.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this juice because it’s light, flavorful, and full of natural goodness. Carrots add natural sweetness and are high in beta-carotene, while spinach is rich in iron, antioxidants, and chlorophyll. It’s a great way for me to sneak in more greens without the heavy taste some green juices have. I don’t need any fancy ingredients — just a juicer or blender and a few minutes to prep.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Carrots (peeled and chopped)
Fresh spinach leaves
Water (if blending)
Lemon juice (for brightness)
Fresh ginger (optional, for added zing)
Apple or cucumber (optional, to sweeten or lighten the flavor)

Directions

If I’m using a juicer:
I run the carrots, spinach, and any optional ingredients (like ginger or apple) through the juicer. Then I stir in a little lemon juice and serve immediately.
If I’m using a blender:
I combine chopped carrots, spinach, and water in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Then I strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the pulp.
I serve it chilled or over ice, and drink it fresh for the best flavor and nutrition.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 servings. It takes 10 minutes to prep and blend or juice, so it’s ready in just 10–15 minutes total.

Variations

I sometimes add celery or cucumber for a more hydrating blend.
A small apple or orange makes it fruitier and sweeter.
A pinch of turmeric or cayenne adds a spicy, anti-inflammatory kick.
For more protein, I blend it with a bit of almond milk or a scoop of unflavored protein powder.

Storage/Reheating

I drink this juice fresh, but it can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight glass container. I shake or stir it well before drinking. I don’t reheat this juice — it’s best served cold or at room temperature. Carrot Spinach Juice Recipe

FAQs

Do I need a juicer to make this?

Is this juice good on an empty stomach?

Yes, I often drink it in the morning. The fresh ingredients are easy to digest and give me a natural energy boost.

How can I make it taste sweeter?

Adding an apple, orange, or a small piece of pineapple balances out the greens and makes it sweeter without refined sugar.

Is this juice detoxifying?

While no juice is a miracle cure, I find this blend refreshing, light on the system, and full of nutrients that support digestion and immune health.
