This Jamaican Style Carrot Juice Recipe is a refreshing yet sweet treat. One of my favorite drinks when growing up in Jamaica.

The full recipe with ingredients/instructions is available on the recipe card at the bottom of the post. Important tips/tricks are also included in the blog post.

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.

      @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?

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

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

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

    I absolutely love the fact this drink has condensed milk in it! It's the perfect combination of ingidients for a refreshing drink. Lol at "acting a little grown" by adding Jamaican rum. I still have a couple of Appleton bottles from when I visited a few years ago!! Delish

    You too?! I use to love carrots as a kid and would chill out with tv or a book and snack on them. My grandmother grew her own garden and had all types of vegetables and fruits and I helped with it. I thinks that's probably why I loved vegetables so much back then and still do now. This drink sounds really good. If I had condensed milk right now I would so make this!
