Turmeric, Carrot and Ginger Remedy

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1
    Run the carrots, ginger, turmeric and lemon through a juicer. Pour juice into a blender, add the honey and blend until the honey is incorporated. Enjoy.

It’s interesting how motivating the tiniest tips from people you care about or respect can be. I was recently on a short flight and read the autobiography of a certain Soviet-era singer, whose music I grew up with. It was a thin, throwaway paperback that I read back to back during the flight, but something about her positivity really made an impression on me. This singer is almost eighty years old, but looks great and has stayed incredibly active, and the book is studded with small, often old-school tips of how she believes she’s managed to keep up her health. She walks everywhere she goes, covering large distances on foot in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and her two drinks of choice are carrot juice in the morning and chamomile tea at night. Sure enough, I’ve been noticing myself drinking both of those with more frequency and taking longer walks whenever possible. And it doesn’t matter to me how silly of a motivation that was, if it helps me get from point A to point B in taking more care of myself, I’m all in.
So here’s the carrot-based tonic I’ve been inspired to drink more often. Since I don’t love pure carrot juice, I doctor it up with ginger, turmeric, lemon and honey, which makes it a true remedy and a preventative for winter colds and flu. It’s delicious – potent, refreshing, spicy and sinus-clearing, and a little goes a long way – I like having a shot or a small glass at a time.
Some weekend links after the jump, stay warm this Sunday :)

Turmeric, Carrot and Ginger Remedy
 
Serves: 1 large glass
Ingredients
  • 8-10 large carrots - peeled if not organic
  • 1" piece ginger or more - peeled if not organic
  • 1" piece fresh turmeric root - peeled if not organic
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey
Instructions
  1. Run the carrots, ginger, turmeric and lemon through a juicer. Pour juice into a blender, add the honey and blend until the honey is incorporated. Enjoy.
Notes
1. I like to use organic lemons for this juice, so that I can run the peel through the juicer and get its oils and benefits into the tonic.
2. I generally use a bit more than 1" of ginger for this amount of juice, but I like things really fiery. If you are the same way, add some more ginger.
3. We both have this Omega juicer and absolutely love it.

I was also about to ask you the name of the singer, but so glad to have found it in the comments: have to tell it to my mother, she knows Edit better than I do, and maybe she will become more motivated to start drinking some juices too ;)

Love the simplicity of this recipe! I used to give to my girls this juice combined with a little bit of raw goat milk and for me with coconut milk, but stopped this ritual ; Would love to make more time and get back to it, it’s such a healthy juice!

I have been reading a library find to my little bear called A Leaf Can Be by Laure Purdie Salas with enchanting illustrations by Violeta Dabija. It’s a poetic exploration of leaves throughout the year. A leaf can be a…shade spiller a mouth filler a tree topper and rain stopper for example. It shifts your thinking about something as simple yet such a complex part of nature like a leaf and how significant even a tiny leaf can be to the environment and our community. Maybe some of the the climate hoax thinkers should read it and be inspired. While we don’t much on leaves as often as our friends the giraffes, we can use more leaves of vegetables on our tables instead of discarding them. Happy creative feasting!

Anya, Love that recipe. Sounds so nourishing. One of my most inspiring books that read and always refer to is Healing With Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford. It gives you reference to the healing properties of every food and has wonderful recipes and recommendations. If you don’t have please try to get it. It is my most cherished book. Thanks De

I inherited a juicer two years ago and I think I’ve maybe used it twice. This looks amazing and so vibrant, I think I have to go dust the old juicer off.

Ginger and turmeric has many good benefits. There are use for medical and herbal purposes to prevent some diseases in spreading.

Hello Anya, thank you always for the beautiful inspiration. I’m not a fan of carrot juice either but you make this one so appealing… the ginger may just be the reply this cold winter -34C Yukon morning deserves! Beautiful! I also want to command you on a technical aspect of your blog: i switched email accounts for receiving your posts, using the link on your newsletter, and the transfer occurred without a glitch!! Have a wonderful 2017! Anne

Question- do you think with some coconut milk that this could be made more into a smoothie? I have a Vitamix and not a juicer. Thank you for sharing your kitchen magic with us!

What nutritional difference is there if I make this in a high speed blender?
