Jamaican Carrot Juice is a creamy, sweet, and spiced beverage that’s unlike any ordinary carrot drink. Blended with condensed milk, vanilla, and a hint of nutmeg, it transforms the humble carrot into a luxurious treat that’s traditionally enjoyed with Sunday dinner or on special occasions.
This rich and velvety drink has roots in both Jamaican and African traditions, where vegetables and spices were commonly used in beverages for their health benefits and flavor. In Jamaica, carrot juice evolved into a comfort drink—served chilled and made with love, especially in family gatherings or festive meals.
The preparation usually starts with fresh carrots, boiled or juiced, then blended with milk (or dairy-free alternatives), sweeteners, and spices. Some variations include a splash of Guinness stout or Dragon beer for an extra kick, making it popular among adults looking for a bold twist.
Unusual fact: In many Jamaican households, carrot juice isn’t just a beverage—it’s considered a treat or dessert drink, often served in place of sodas or soft drinks during Sunday dinners.
Sweet, smooth, and satisfying—Jamaican Carrot Juice is a delicious way to sip on tradition.
When I first migrated to Canada, cooking wasn't really my thing. But the longing for the rich flavors of home—and the reality of feeding a household of six—pushed me to learn how to make quick, easy Jamaican meals with just a few simple ingredients. Over time, cooking became more than a necessity—it became a joy.
Like a true Jamaican, my favorite part of cooking is sharing meals and seeing the happiness they bring to others. Even better? Inviting others into my kitchen—especially those who believed Jamaican food was too hard to make—and showing them how easy and fun it can be.
Now, I want to share that same experience with you and your loved ones, right in the comfort of your own home. Let's bring the joy of authentic Jamaican cooking to your kitchen, one simple, delicious meal at a time.
