Ingredients
 
 

  • 6 medium navel oranges
  • 4 small carrots or 2 large carrots
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 1 inch ginger root

Instructions
 

  • Wash all ingredients thoroughly. Cut the peel off the oranges and lemon. Discard the peel. Trim both sides of the carrots. Discard ends. Peel the ginger. Discard the peel.
  • Juice the prepared ingredients in a juicer according to the manufacturer's directions. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Start with cold oranges and carrots so your juice is cool and crisp right out of the juicer, no ice dilution needed.
  • Peel the ginger with a spoon - quick scrape with a spoon is all it takes to remove the thin skin without wasting the potent root underneath.
  • If the juice is too tart or spicy, mellow it out with an extra orange. If it’s too sweet, add more lemon or a bit of turmeric for depth.
  • A pinch of salt or cayenne can elevate the sweetness and enhance the natural zing without overpowering.
  • For a pulp-free experience, run the finished juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth before serving.
  • No juicer? No problem! Use a blender instead - blend all the ingredients with a little water, then strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve to remove the pulp.
Serve: Serve it alongside a wholesome breakfast spread like make ahead breakfast sandwich, overnight breakfast casserole, mini salmon quiche, or apple cinnamon overnight oats. It also complements light lunch options like quinoa salads, veggie wraps, ham and cheese sliders, or parmesan crusted chicken. For a snack, enjoy it with a handful of mixed nuts, hummus and veggies, or a slice of banana bread.
Store: Orange carrot juice is best consumed immediately. If making ahead, store freshly made juice in an airtight glass bottle or jar and keep in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. When ready to enjoy, give it a good shake before drinking.
