Juicing your way to good health – Carrot, Radish & Tomato Juice
A simple vegetable juice recipe for a busy mid-weekday. When I saw these cute looking red radishes at Bollywood Veggies (picture below), I couldn’t resist buying some. Finally decided to make fruit juice out of them because it’s easy and also nutritious. One seldom see radishes being added in a fruit juice and I guess it’s because their taste can be quite sharp & spicy when consumed raw. The trick is not to add too many radishes, and blend them with cherry tomatoes and carrots as their natural sweetness will balance out the overall taste.
Beautiful red radishes I bought from Bollywood Veggies – so fresh they still have their leaves on
According to this site, “Radishes can be beneficial to our health as they are sources of Potassium, Magnesium, Vitamin C, Iron sulphur and Amylase. Radish juice has been used for treating skin conditions, asthma and sinus problems.” I just think that it is yummy, so when it’s also healthy, I think that’s a great bonus 
Ingredients
(Makes 1 glass about 250 ml)
- 1 to 2 carrots, peeled and cut to chunks
- 15 cherry tomatoes (can substitute with normal tomatoes)
- 2 red radishes (can substitute with other types of radishes, about 70g), peeled and cut to chunksDirections
1. Just blend everything in a fruit juice extractor and consume as soon as possible.

I love juice … Your juice looks very refreshing. And I always enjoy your excellent photography Wiffy! (^.^)
Thanks for your kind words. I enjoy your photography & bento creations immensely as well ^_^
A great way to consume radishes. Nutritious and yummy!
a great and may I add, lazy way (save for the cleaning up). heeee
NC, I think I may need some carrots in my diet, because I thought your bowl in the third photo had marshmallows in it. And wondered how the heck that could be healthy.
Seriously though, I love all these vegetables. Once, when s a kid, my mom always made me a healthy drink concoction of carrot juice and OJ. And I surprised myself when I found I actually liked it.
now that you mentioned it, yes the white stuff do look like marshmallows. Carrot and orange juice sounds good, I will try it next time
and *smile* at your comments, I always like your comments to me, so thank you! I hope you like this combi of juice when you try it.
Well, I hit submit by accident.
Please, forgive the butchering and nonsensical message above.
Maybe your health drink will help rejuvenate my last surviving brain cells.
In any case, I think the gorgeous orange color in that glass is tempting me to make it, now.
Great juice. I can get all these in Switzerland easily. gotta try : )
yay! finally a recipe where you can find the ingredients, hehe
Super good juice!
This sounds like a nice mix of sweet and peppery flavors of the vegetables. A fresh and delicious juice!
Thank you! yes sweet and peppery – it’s a nice combi
it looks good but I don’t think i’m gonna like it..hee..
u don’t like radish? or tomato? or carrot? heheehe
My mum use to boil carrots and raddish. I didn’t know we could juice them! Sounds very healthy.. I love juices so I’m going to give this a try
we can juice any vegetables and fruits I think. For me, it’s a lazy way to “eat” my greens and fruits.
Very healthy indeed! Juicing is definitely good for us, I need to bring my juicer out and start juicing since apples have been cheap these days.
you should! fresh apple juice, yum yum
Another detox juice? So far, I’ve not try fresh radish juice.
Yes I heard radishes are detoxifying. There’s always a first time
That looks wicked good. And if my mom heard me saying that about vegetable juice she would probably faint.
I have the same glass! My mom and dad collected them from before I was born!
Oh! So pretty the color, I am sure that must taste great, radish in juice…never had it before, would definitely try it
Healthy, tasteful and a wonderful color of this juice…need more?
Your pics are absolutely awesome
Cheers!

You know radish & carrots are surprisingly easy to grow, even in pots!
So long as you have a pretty deep pot with lots of sun & water, you’re good
are u sure??? I’m so scared to grow new plants right now because I’ve killed too many. Radishes and carrots are like advanced gardening to me! hehe
Wiffy, I have passed the award for you. Please pick it up on my blog and don’t forget to post 7 random things about yourself and nominate another 7 bloggers :o) Have a great weekend!
Thank you soooo much Lia Chen!
Ok, this is one recipe I am bookmarking to save.
Not only does it sound/look yummy, but it seems SO easy to do! (Hmm,….we’ll see about that. I have a way of making everything harder then it is, when in the kitchen. 
)
I’ve never tried fresh vegetable juice before, but enjoy eating healthy also and your recipe, combined with the tantalizing photos has just pushed me over the edge. Now I only need to convince my mom to add radishes on her grocery list hehe.
hehe you’re adorable. I hope you like the taste when you try it out. I’m always jealous when I see photos of how red and fresh the radishes in US look.
the color looks amazing, the consistency looks great, too, but i will surely pass on radishes!
yay you for being able to drink it…
Thanks! I love the taste of radish in my vegetable juice when it’s added in moderation ^_^
what a wonderful way to have lots of vegetable!!
I adore veggie juice… my personal fave is celery and tomatoes. Don’t have a juicer though, I should definitely invest in one since le hubby and I are trying to improve our eating habits. Your recipe looks yummy!
A juicer is really a nice investment for healthy eating. The alternative way such as squeezing the juice through a cheese cloth sounds like a hassle to me!
oops.. i just tried, i wish i didn’t add in radish, I can’t explain how I feel, but the “spicyness” of raddish make me headache now.. :’(
I’m sorry to hear that you had a headache! I’m not sure why raw radish gives you one, maybe you are allergic to it somehow. You can try the carrot+tomato combo or like Marysol has suggested in her comments, carrot+orange juice combo next time.
No problem, I will be extra careful with raw radish next time. Thanks for the recipe.
