Carrot-Orange Juice
A bright and invigorating fresh juice blend, Carrot-Orange Juice combines the earthy sweetness of carrots with the tangy, citrusy notes of oranges, creating a refreshing and nutrient-packed beverage known for its vibrant color and health benefits.
Prepare ingredients for juicing
Wash and scrub 2 medium carrots thoroughly. Trim off the ends. Peel 1 medium orange and separate it into segments if necessary to fit your juicer. Peel 1 small piece (0.5 inch) fresh ginger if using.
💡 Tips:
- •For optimal nutrient retention, consider organic carrots and oranges. Cut ingredients into pieces that fit easily into your juicer's chute.
Juice ingredients
Feed the prepared carrots, orange segments, and optional ginger through your juicer. Collect the fresh juice in a glass.
💡 Tips:
- •Alternate between the harder carrots and softer orange/ginger for more efficient juicing. If you don't have a juicer, you can blend with a splash of water and then strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag for a similar result, though it will be less clear.
Serve immediately
Pour the freshly extracted carrot-orange juice into a glass. If desired, add 1 serving of ice. Serve immediately for the best taste and nutrient content.
💡 Tips:
- •Fresh juice is best consumed right away as nutrient content can diminish over time due to oxidation. Stir well before drinking.
- 💡For a sweeter juice, use very ripe oranges or add a small amount of agave nectar or honey to taste.
- 💡Add a tiny pinch of turmeric powder for an extra health boost and a deeper golden color.
- 💡To make it more tart, add a tiny squeeze of fresh lemon juice after juicing.
- 💡If you don't have a juicer, you can blend the peeled carrots, orange, and ginger with a little water until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
