Ginger, Carrot and Melon Juice

6. May, 2009

I prefer to use a Galia melon for this recipe but you can use whichever melon is in season (such as Honey Dew or Cantaloupe). Just make sure it is ripe. I love the combination of tartness from the lime, the neutral taste of the carrots and the sweetness of the melon, it provides a balanced and delicious drink. If you don't own a juicer you can buy organic carrot juice from a health food store and use a blender instead of the juicer. The juice will be thicker but still delicious (and will contain more fibre). This juice is packed with vitamins and antioxidants and is particularly rich in vitamin A (Beta Carotene) which can help fight against macular degeneration.

You will need a juicer to make this juice.

Ginger, Carrot and Melon Juice

Serves 2 people

Ingredients

A small piece fresh ginger (equal to two grapes in size)
2 carrots
2 limes (juice only)
1 Galia, Cantaloupe or Honey Dew melon

Preparation

Peel the 2 carrots.
Peel the ginger (the skin is very thin, you can scrape it off with a teaspoon or a small knife).
Slice the two limes in halves and squeeze the juice into a small bowl.
Slice open the melon. Clean out the seeds and membrane. Cut the melon in slices and cut off the tough outer skin.
Now place the carrots in the juicer, followed by the ginger and finally the melon slices.
Pour into a container and add the lime juice.
Serve with ice cubes if preferred.
Serve immediately.
