Potato, Carrot and Apple Fresh Juice

Why people make this juice

This three-ingredient juice has circulated in wellness circles for decades, sometimes attributed to a Japanese Zen monk who reportedly shared it as a health-building practice. Nourilo neither confirms nor dismisses such stories — what matters is that all three ingredients are real, wholesome foods with genuine nutritional value. Modern Western diets tend to be heavy on meat and refined foods, which can shift the body’s internal environment in ways that do not serve long-term health. A daily glass of fresh vegetable and fruit juice is one simple, pleasant way to get more plant nutrients, fibre, and natural compounds into your routine. Drink it immediately after pressing.

Method

1. Wash all ingredients thoroughly.
2. Peel the potato, carrot, and apple; remove the apple core.
3. Cut into strips or chunks suitable for your juicer.
4. Press through a juicer to extract the fresh juice.
5. Drink immediately — within 5 minutes of pressing for best quality. Do not store.

Nourilo’s Tips

Fresh-pressed juice deteriorates quickly, so always juice and drink on the spot — ideally within 5 minutes. If you have high blood pressure, you may add a small amount of fresh celery (xi qin) to the mix; celery is traditionally associated with helping to lower blood pressure. You can also add fresh lemon juice for extra vitamin C and a brighter flavour.
