Why We Love This Citrus Carrot Juice
Can I mix ashwagandha in juice? Yes, you most absolutely can! And that is the main reason we love this particular recipe. When you mix the ashwagandha root extract into this citrusy juice, you won’t even taste its slightly bitter flavor. It is completely balanced for a delicious tasting juice with all of the benefits ashwagandha has to offer.
Our chef, Ari, explains his thoughts behind the formulation of this recipe:
“We built this blend around ashwagandha, which has a slightly bitter flavor and pairs well with grapefruit due to its flavor profile. The honey takes the edge off the bitterness making it much more mellow, The orange adds a depth of citrus to round out the flavor, and the carrot works great with citrus for taking off the sharpness. Lastly, passion fruit gives a bit of texture while also adding to the overall citrusy, refreshing flavor that works great during the spring and summer seasons. “

Health Benefits of This Ashwagandha Juice
Reduces Stress & Anxiety
I noticed that after taking ashwagandha as a daily supplement, my stress and anxiety levels have decreased. Studies also prove that taking ashwagandha extract helps to reduce stress and anxiety and improve the overall well-being of adults under stress.
Reduces Inflammation
Initially I started taking ashwagandha for its stress relieving benefits, but I grew to love it even more for its anti-inflammatory benefits. While I have experienced a decrease in inflammation and joint pain and am a living testament to its efficacy, there are also several animal studies that have shown that ashwagandha reduces inflammation.
Fights Cancer
Studies have shown that one of ashwagandha’s compounds helps to kill cancer cells and keeps cancer cells from growing. Research also suggests that it may help treat several types of cancer.

Pro Tips
If you’re not keen on the seedy texture, just filter out the passion fruit seeds with a sieve.
Ashwagandha root liquid extract works the best for mixing into juices. We like this liquid extract. If all you have is a powder, whisk it into the juice until the clumps disappear. Powders work best in smoothies.
