Orange & Carrot Ginger Glow Juice
Ingredients
-
3 Large Oranges: Peeled and halved (Navel or Valencia oranges work best for juice).
-
2 Large Carrots: Scrubbed, peeled, and chopped into chunks.
-
1-inch knob of Fresh Ginger: Peeled (adjust based on how much “zing” you like).
-
Optional: A splash of lemon juice for extra brightness or a pinch of turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits.
-
For Smoothie Version: Add 1/2 cup of water or coconut water and some ice cubes.
Instructions
Option 1: Using a Juicer (Best for a clear juice)
-
Prep: Wash all produce thoroughly. Peel the oranges and ginger.
-
Juice: Feed the carrots, ginger, and oranges through your juicer one by one.
-
Serve: Stir the juice to combine the flavors and pour into a glass over ice. Drink immediately for the most nutrients.
Option 2: Using a Blender (Best for a fiber-rich smoothie)
-
Prep: Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Peel and roughly chop the carrots and ginger.
-
Blend: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender. Add 1/2 cup of water or ice to help it blend smoothly.
-
Liquify: Blend on high until completely smooth.
-
Strain (Optional): If you prefer a thinner juice without the pulp, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh nut milk bag or sieve, pressing down with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
Tips for the Best Flavor
-
Sweetness: If your carrots aren’t very sweet, you can add a small slice of red apple to the mix.
-
Coldness: Chill your fruits and vegetables in the fridge beforehand so the juice is cold and refreshing the moment it’s made.
-
Storage: Fresh juice is best consumed within 24 hours. Store it in a glass jar with a tight lid in the refrigerator.
