I love making fresh juices and I truly believe in the nutritional benefits of enjoying freshly made juice. Fruit is packed with so many antioxidants and is one of the best food groups to consume for your micro nutrients. Some of my other favourite juice recipes include my green juice with pineapple recipe, my orange ginger carrot juice, and my electrolyte restoring watermelon juice recipe. I also love to make popsicles with fresh fruit juice such as these watermelon ice pops and these dragonfruit popsicles.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
If you’re looking for a powerful, nutrient-packed health boost, these Ginger Turmeric Carrot Juice Shots are exactly what you need! They’re made with fresh turmeric, fresh ginger, and carrots, giving you an anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting powerhouse in a small but mighty shot. The spicy kick from ginger and turmeric makes this drink intense, but that’s what makes it so effective. Plus, it’s super easy to make at home using a juicer!
How to Make Ginger Turmeric Carrot Juice
Making this juice is simple—just juice fresh turmeric, ginger, and carrots, then mix in black pepper and honey for added health benefits and a sweet balance. If you don’t have a juicer, you can use a blender with water or orange juice and strain the pulp using a cheesecloth. I use the blender and cheesecloth method in my Orange Ginger Carrot Juice recipe (I've included photos + a video tutorial too!)
Ingredients Needed for This Ginger Turmeric Carrot Juice
Fresh Turmeric (100 grams)
This is the key ingredient, providing a deep golden color and a rich, earthy flavor. It’s often called “yellow ginger” because of its resemblance to ginger but with a bright yellow interior. Fresh is always best, but if you can’t find it, you can use powdered turmeric.
Fresh Ginger (25 grams)
Ginger adds a bold, spicy kick to the shots. It’s known for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties, making this juice extra beneficial.
Carrots (2 large, about 515 grams)
Carrots add natural sweetness to balance the strong flavors of ginger and turmeric. They are rich in beta-carotene, which is great for skin and eye health. The carrot is also essential for this recipe to create enough liquid as the ginger and turmeric alone do not produce enough liquid to consume as a juice shot. It also is required to be able to tolerate the spicy burn!
Black Pepper (¾ tsp)
A small but crucial ingredient! Black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, making the juice even more effective.
Honey (3 tsp)
A touch of honey balances out the spice and adds a hint of natural sweetness. You can substitute it with maple syrup for a fully plant-based option.
How to Make Ginger Turmeric Carrot Juice
Ingredients
- 100 grams fresh turmeric (about 4 thumbs)
- 25 grams fresh ginger (about 1 thumb / 4cm length)
- 2 large carrots (515 grams)
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 teaspoon honey

- Prepare your juicer.
- Cut turmeric, ginger, and carrots into pieces that fit into your juicer.
- Juice all the ingredients.
- Pour into 6 small shot jars.

Tips and Tricks for Perfecting Your Juice
- Use fresh turmeric if possible. Powdered turmeric works, but fresh gives the best flavor and benefits.
- Be careful with stains! Turmeric stains everything—your hands, countertops, and blender. Wipe spills immediately!
- Mix well before drinking. The ingredients naturally separate, so give it a good shake before taking your shot.
- Use a glass container. Plastic can absorb the strong color of turmeric over time. Plus, using glass containers over plastic is better for your health anyway!
