🥤 Glowing Skin Juice Recipe

This recipe makes approximately 1–2 servings depending on the size of your produce.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Carrot: High in beta-carotene for skin repair.

  • 1 small Beet: Rich in antioxidants and improves blood flow.

  • 1 Apple (Gala or Granny Smith): Provides natural sweetness and Vitamin C.

  • 1 Large Cucumber: High water content for deep hydration.

  • 1/2 Lemon: Brightens the flavor and aids digestion.

Instructions

Option 1: Using a Juicer (Best for Texture)

  1. Prep: Wash all produce thoroughly. Peel the beet (optional, but it reduces the “earthy” taste) and the lemon.

  2. Chop: Cut the vegetables into pieces small enough to fit through your juicer’s chute.

  3. Juice: Run everything through the juicer, alternating between harder items (carrots/beets) and softer/watery items (cucumber/apple).

  4. Finish: Stir the juice to combine the layers and serve immediately over ice.

Option 2: Using a Blender (Whole Food Version)

  1. Prep: Chop all ingredients into small chunks. Remove the apple seeds and peel the lemon.

  2. Blend: Add the ingredients to the blender with 1/2 cup of cold water or coconut water to help it move. Blend on high until completely smooth.

  3. Strain: For a “juice” consistency, pour the mixture through a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer into a glass. If you don’t mind the pulp, drink it as a thick smoothie to keep all the fiber!

💡 Pro-Tips for the Best Glow

  • Keep the Skin: Unless you are using a blender and want it ultra-smooth, keep the skin on the cucumber and apple for extra nutrients.

  • Drink it Fresh: Fresh juice oxidizes quickly. For the most “glow” benefits, try to drink it within 15–20 minutes of making it.

  • Add Ginger: If you want an extra kick, add a 1-inch knob of ginger. It’s great for inflammation and adds a lovely spice.
