Carrots are one of my favourite veggies to juice as they’re naturally sweet (especially the organic ones – trust me there’s a huge difference in taste)! I’m also loving the gorgeous bright orange colour of this juice. I find that carrots go perfectly with some pineapple and turmeric, which happen to be two brilliant anti-inflammatory plants. You’ll be glowing from the inside and out with this glass of goodness!
Bromelain is the enzyme found in pineapple which helps reduce swelling and inflammation in the body. It also aids us to break down proteins and supports our digestion. Hello flat stomach! Turmeric is a superstar root which been used for thousands of years in both Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to treat all sorts of conditions. Curcumin, the component in turmeric which gives it its beautiful yellow colour, is a powerful antioxidant. It helps to protect our cells from damage, as well as lowering the levels of enzymes that cause inflammation in our bodies.
Pineapple and turmeric taste incredible together, but there’s an extra reason why we should be combining the two. Bromelain (from the pineapple) actually increases the absorption and anti-inflammatory effects from Curcumin (from the turmeric). Double whammy!
- 3 carrots
- 3 inches of turmeric
- 1 cup of pineapple
The stains will come out with a bit of oil or alcohol. Sunlight is also great for fading turmeric marks!
Where did you get all this knowledge from? 🙂
I read a lot about natural healing 🙂
Would you recommend for the ingredients to be organic vs conventional? I see you are based in PI where do you buy your fruits? veggies?
thanks, I’m so happy I finally found a legit plant based wholefood’s advocate that is Pinay or half Pinay 🙂
I admire Shailene Woodley sooooo much and her belief that our body naturally heals itself thru food 🙂 YAY for women like you who are great role models 🙂
P.S.
Can you share some books you read? regarding natural/holistic eating?
Hi! Thanks so much for your positive words 🙂 Yes I’m currently based in Manila and although I don’t have any Filipino blood I’m turning more Pinay by the day!
Some great books you can read to get your started:
“Crazy Sexy Diet” – Kris Carr
“The Blood Sugar Solution” & “Ultra-Metabolism” – Dr. Mark Hyman
also these documentaries are quite insightful:
Forks over Knives
Food Inc
Food Matters
Hope that helps!

Hello…Is it ok to use organic powered turmeric in my juices? Thank you
Hi Terri,
Yes you can definitely use your organic powdered turmeric! Saves you scrubbing an orange juicer too 😉
