Zesty Orange and Kale Glow Juice.
Ingredients
-
4 Large Oranges: Peeled and quartered (Navel or Valencia work best).
-
1 Cup Fresh Kale: Stems removed, leaves roughly chopped.
-
1 Small Apple: (Optional) Core removed, to add a touch of mellow sweetness.
-
1/2 Inch Fresh Ginger: Peeled, for a gentle spicy kick and digestive support.
-
Ice: For serving.
Instructions
-
Prep the Produce: Rinse the kale thoroughly under cold water to ensure it’s clean. Peel your oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness, but keeping the juicy segments intact.
-
Juicing Order:
-
If using a juicer: Start by bunching the kale tightly and feeding it through with the ginger. Follow up with the orange segments. The high water content of the oranges helps flush all the kale nutrients through the machine.
-
If using a high-speed blender: Add the orange segments first to provide liquid at the bottom. Add the kale and ginger on top. Blend on high until completely smooth.
-
-
Strain (Blender Method Only): If you used a blender and prefer a smooth juice, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or a nut milk bag into a pitcher. Press the pulp to extract every last drop.
-
Serve: Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour the bright orange juice over the top.
-
Garnish: Finish with a fresh orange wheel on the rim, just like in your photo!
