Blend the Ingredients:
Begin by combining the diced bottle gourd, chopped carrots, ginger, mint leaves, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Add one cup of water to the mix to help blend everything into a smooth puree. -
Adjust Consistency:
Once the ingredients are blended, transfer the puree into a decanter. Add 2 more cups of water to achieve the desired consistency. You can adjust the amount of water based on whether you prefer a thicker or thinner juice. -
Flavor Adjustments:
Taste the juice and adjust the salt levels as per your preference. If you like a touch of sweetness, add honey to taste and stir well to combine. -
Serve:
Serve the Gajar Lauki Juice immediately for the best taste and nutritional benefits. Enjoy it on its own, or pair it with a nutritious breakfast such as Spicy Jalapeno Scrambled Eggs and Toast for a complete meal.
Note:
- The best time to drink this juice is in the morning to help detoxify your system and start the day feeling refreshed.
- If you prefer a smoother juice, you can use a juicer to extract the juice, but keep in mind that using a juicer will discard the pulp, meaning you will need to use more of the vegetables to reach the desired juice quantity.
Enjoy the freshness of Gajar Lauki Juice as part of your daily routine for a healthy and revitalized body!
