Growing up, carrots were one of my favorite vegetables to eat—not the cooked carrots, but a regular raw carrot right out of the bag. I’d grab one, sit in front of the TV, watch my cartoons, and chew on the carrot. I wanted to be Bugs Bunny.

A little birdie also told me that carrots were really good for eyesight so as a kid, I made sure I ate at least 2 a day. I still don’t need glassess…I’ll give props to the carrots and that little birdie.

Growing up, while I wasn’t eating all the carrots in the house, I would also get to enjoy this Jamaican Style Carrot Juice. It wasn’t made too often in the house, but when it was made, it was a true treat.

Now, this isn’t your typical carrot juice recipe. It’s a bit thicker and sweetened with condensed milk and other spices. So, in other words, it ain’t the healthiest drink on the block. But seriously, who cares? It’s delicious, and it does have a vegetable in it.

Ingredients for Carrot Juice

  • Carrots – rinsed and cleaned. It’s up to you whether to peel them. If they aren’t organic, I tend to peel them.
  • Water – this will help when blending the carrots to make the juice.
  • Condensed milk, nutmeg, and vanilla extract – this adds sweetness and flavor to the carrot juice.

I make this drink regularly but with a twist, I steam the carrots before I blend it,this way nothing goes to waste and the drink is thicker.try it

@Ron, My mom's best friend from Jamaica used to boil her carrots first and then blend them and the water they were cooked in. We also had it with rum or an orange liquor. I loved it with or without.

I’m excited to make this. Looks very easy which is in my category and I have some Wray & Nephew white rum. Can I juice the carrots then blend with the water? Thanks for sharing!

This carrot juice recipe sounds great...one question do you think one could make it dairy free subbing coconut milk for the condensed milk?

Ron

Thursday 27th of June 2024

@Gracie, an alternative to dairy is adding ginger and lemon juice with a bit of sugar

Tanya

Saturday 10th of December 2022

Hi Gracie, you could. You could also use the dairy free condensed milk.

I haven’t made it yet, but I plan to, it seems to be a pretty easy make, I have a question, how long does this juice keep in the refrigerator?

Tanya

Saturday 10th of April 2021

Hi Helen, I haven’t kept it longer than 2 days.

Love the idea of this, is the condensed milk sweetened or just plain? Carrot juice is the best, can’t wait to make it?

Tanya

Hi Denise, it's sweetened.
