Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Carrot
- 2 medium Orange
- 1 large Apple
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 0.5 Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 0.5 cup Cold water or ice cubes
Instructions
Wash all the produce thoroughly under running water.
Peel the carrots, orange, and ginger if desired (peeling is optional for a juicer but recommended for blending). Cut them into smaller pieces for easier processing.
Core and chop the apple into chunks. No need to peel unless you prefer to.
Juicing method: Add the carrots, oranges, apple, and ginger to your juicer in batches, following your machine's instructions. Collect the juice in a large glass or pitcher.
Blending method: Add the chopped carrots, orange segments, apple chunks, and ginger to a blender, along with the cold water or ice cubes. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag to remove the pulp, if desired.
Squeeze the juice from the half lemon into the prepared juice, and stir to combine.
Taste and, if desired, add honey for a touch of sweetness. Stir well.
Pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest flavor and fullest nutritional benefits.
