Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 1 large orange
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 0.5 medium lemon
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the carrots thoroughly and cut off the ends. If desired, you can peel them, though it's not necessary if they are organic.
Peel the orange and divide it into segments to make blending easier.
Peel the ginger and slice it into smaller pieces for easier processing.
Juice the lemon into a small bowl and remove any seeds. Set aside the fresh lemon juice.
In a high-powered blender, add the carrots, orange segments, ginger, lemon juice, and water.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth. If your blender struggles, you can add an extra splash of water.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl to remove the pulp, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
Stir in the honey until fully dissolved.
Fill two glasses with the ice cubes and pour the juice over them.
Serve immediately and enjoy The Carrot Zinger fresh for the best flavor and nutritional value.
