I tried making carrot juice and honestly, not a big fan. I peeled them as someone I know said it takes away the "earthy" flavor. What is odd is I can take a wheatgrass shot with no issue. Sipping carrot juice not the greatest. I really want to continue drinking it as I know the benefits are great. Any ideas?

Thank you! I just fired up the juicer at work, it tasted considerably better although I could still taste the carrot. I used a red delicious, not sure if the apple makes the difference?

I like carrots, apples and ginger in a combo, I think somewhere else called gingerbeer. YUMMY.

Just thought I'd share that my favorite is carrot and orange. You can add a little ginger if you like the spice.

I haven't tried too many juices, as my juicer sucks and I feel like it wastes too much..

BUT, I like carrot, celery and cayenne

Sounds delicious! I'll have to pick up a bag and make some. =] Have you ever made it in a blender before? I don't have a juicer.

carrot and ............pear, plum, peach, lime juice, an orange whatever is around and getting mushy

I have a 2 year old niece who loves carrot apple. I also added in ginger and whatever kale I had left and she came back 3 times for more.


Also, I always add ice to the cup. Right or wrong I don't care....I have a hard time drinking it warm. And, my fridge is not big enough to keep everything in there and cold prior to juicing.

Thank you for all the recipes! I tried the ginger and it was yummy. Renee, my son does that with green smoothies. I never thought he'd like them but he calls them "Grinch Drinks"

Sometimes carrots are not as sweet or delicious tasting as others. Soil, growing conditions, harvest time, variety, all play a role. I think you'll find more often than not, carrots are suitable by themselves for juicing. Keep trying through the season, looking for carrots from differentfarms or regions. Maybe you can sample some first at a farmers market. Sounds like you had a bag that was maybe a little bitter.

LOL Cathy I love that!

Streetsurfer....first off love the title lol. I do feel a little Bugs Bunnyish these days. My carrots weren't from a bag but organic at the market. I am on a mission this weekend though. I live in farm country. Seriously, I am not joking when I say that. So my husband and I are going to scrounge around our town and look for veggies and fruits this weekend. I also feel its important to support my local organic farmers, which besides apples I haven't done in the past. Not sure why. I am hoping I find delicious carrots to try this with. Thank you :)

I have never really enjoyed carrot juice straight, so I add ginger, apple, and celery - DELICIOUS!
