Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Juice
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 peeled and chopped carrots, 1 ripe peeled and chopped mango, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 cup of water. Ensure that your juicer or blender is clean and ready for use.
- Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler. After peeling, chop them into smaller pieces (about 1-2 inches) to make blending or juicing easier.
- Next, take the ripe mango. Slice off the skin using a knife, then cut the flesh away from the pit. Chop the mango into smaller chunks to facilitate blending or juicing.
- In a blender, combine the chopped carrots, chopped mango, lemon juice, and water. If you are using a juicer, you can add the ingredients one at a time as per your juicer's instructions.
- If using a blender, secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, you can add more water to reach your desired consistency.
- If using a juicer, process the carrots and mango separately, collecting the juice in a container. After juicing, add the lemon juice and water to the juice and stir well to combine.
- Once blended or juiced, taste the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter juice, consider adding a little honey or agave syrup, but this is optional.
- Pour the juice into two serving glasses. You can serve it immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for a refreshing drink later.
- For an extra touch, garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint on top of each glass before serving. Enjoy your refreshing Carrot Mango Juice!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Ingredients: For the best flavor, select a ripe mango that gives slightly when pressed. This ensures maximum sweetness and juiciness in your drink.
- Prep Efficiently: To save time, prep your ingredients ahead of time. You can chop the carrots and mango in advance and store them in the fridge until you're ready to juice or blend.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner juice, feel free to add more water during the blending or juicing process. Start with the recommended amount and adjust to your liking.
- Sweeten Naturally: If you find the juice isn’t sweet enough for your taste, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup. Just a teaspoon can enhance the flavor without overpowering it.
- Garnish for Presentation: Elevate your juice presentation by garnishing with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint. Not only does it look appealing, but it also adds a refreshing aroma.
- Chill Before Serving: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your juice in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving, or add ice cubes to each glass.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to get creative! Adding a small piece of ginger or a handful of spinach can boost the nutritional value and add unique flavors to your juice.Enjoy crafting your Carrot Mango Juice and savor every sip of this delightful concoction!
