Orange & Carrot Ginger Glow Juice

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)

  1. Prep: Wash all produce thoroughly. Peel the oranges and ginger.

  2. Juice: Feed the carrots, ginger, and oranges through your juicer one by one.

  3. 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)

  1. Prep: Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Peel and roughly chop the carrots and ginger.

  2. Blend: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender. Add 1/2 cup of water or ice to help it blend smoothly.

  3. Liquify: Blend on high until completely smooth.

  4. 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.
