Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized (peeled) Fresh oranges
- 3 medium-sized Carrots
- 1 cup (diced) Fresh pineapple
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber
- 1 inch (peeled) Ginger
- 1 whole (juiced) Lime
- 6 fresh Mint leaves
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Gather all the fresh produce and wash them thoroughly under cold running water. Peel the oranges, ginger, and if desired, the cucumber (though the skin adds additional nutrients).
Cut the oranges, carrots, and cucumber into smaller chunks that will fit easily into your blender or juicer. Dice the pineapple into 1-inch cubes if not pre-diced.
If using a juicer, feed the oranges, carrots, pineapple, cucumber, and ginger into the juicer, alternating ingredients to evenly distribute flavors. Collect the juice in a serving jug.
If using a blender, add the oranges, carrots, pineapple, cucumber, ginger, lime juice, mint leaves, and cold water into the blender jar. Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined.
Place a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to separate the juice from the fibrous pulp. Use a spatula or spoon to press the liquid through, extracting as much juice as possible.
Taste the juice. If you'd like it slightly sweeter, stir in 1 tablespoon of honey until dissolved.
Pour the juice into glasses over ice cubes. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately, as fresh juice tastes best when enjoyed right away. Any leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before consuming.
