Carrot-Apple-Ginger Juice | A Healing Drink For Body & Soul

Meta description: Refreshing Carrot-Apple-Ginger Juice that boosts immunity, calms digestion, and uplifts the spirit. A healing drink made with God’s goodness.

Introduction

There are moments when our bodies—and even our spirits—feel worn down, in need of gentle care and restoration. One of the simplest yet most powerful ways God provides healing is through the foods He created. Carrots, apples, and ginger may seem humble on their own, but when blended together, they become a vibrant drink that nourishes body and soul.

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that supports eye health, lowers inflammation, and strengthens the immune system. Apples bring natural sweetness along with fiber and vitamin C, soothing digestion and refreshing the body. Ginger, long known as a healing root, calms the stomach, reduces nausea, and helps fight off illness with its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.

This juice is often enjoyed in the morning as a fresh start, after illness to restore strength, or even before Shabbat dinner as a light, cleansing drink. It is a reminder that the Lord’s healing touch doesn’t always come in dramatic ways—it often comes through small, everyday gifts, like a glass of nourishing juice.

As the psalmist writes: “He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate—bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts” (Psalm 104:14–15). This Carrot-Apple-Ginger Juice is one of those sustaining foods—refreshing the body and gladdening the heart with every sip.

1–2 inch fresh ginger root (about 1–2 tbsp / 15–30 g), peeled
1 cup (240 ml) cold water or coconut water
Juice of ½ lemon (optional, for brightness)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Step-by-Step Directions

Prepare produce: Wash carrots and apples thoroughly. Peel ginger. Chop everything into small chunks for easier blending.
Blend: Add carrots, apples, ginger, and water (or coconut water) to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth.

Cooking Tips & Troubleshooting

Maximize flavor: Use crisp, sweet apples (like Fuji or Honeycrisp) for the best balance with ginger.
Too spicy? Add more carrot or apple to mellow the ginger.
Too thick? Add more water or coconut water until desired consistency.
