Nutrient-Dense Potato & Carrot Juice
Prep time: 10 minutes | Servings: 1-2 cups
Ingredients
-
1 medium Raw potato (organic preferred, well-scrubbed)
-
2 large Carrots, peeled
-
1 small Apple (optional, for natural sweetness)
-
½ inch Fresh ginger (optional, for digestion support)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Produce: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. If you are using a non-organic potato, be sure to peel it to remove any surface pesticides. Crucial: Remove any green parts or “eyes” from the potato, as these contain solanine, which is toxic.
-
Chop: Cut the potato, carrots, and apple into small pieces that will fit into your juicer.
-
Juice: Run the ingredients through a juicer. If you do not have a juicer, you can blend the ingredients with a half cup of water and then strain the mixture through a fine mesh cloth or nut milk bag.
-
Drink Fresh: Stir the juice and drink it immediately. The nutrients in raw potato juice can oxidize quickly, so it is best consumed within 15 minutes of preparation.
💡 Important Safety Notes
-
Never Replace Treatment: This juice is a supplement to a healthy lifestyle, not a replacement for medication or therapies prescribed by your doctor.
-
Raw Potato Caution: Do not consume raw potato juice if the potato is green or sprouting, as it can cause stomach upset or more serious issues.
-
Consult a Professional: If you have diabetes, be mindful of the natural sugars in carrots and apples; if you have liver or kidney issues, consult your doctor before significantly increasing raw vegetable intake.
