Ingredients
 
 

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

Instructions
 

  • Give all your ingredients a good rinse. Cut the peel off the oranges and lemon and set them aside. Trim the ends off the carrots and peel the ginger.
  • Run everything through your juicer. Once it’s all juiced, stir and pour into a glass. You can drink it as is or add ice if you prefer it colder.

Notes

  • Cold oranges and carrots make your juice instantly refreshing, no ice needed and no watered-down flavor.
  • It sounds odd, but it works. A spoon easily scrapes off the skin without taking off too much of the good stuff underneath.
  • Run the juice through a mesh strainer or cheesecloth if you’d rather sip than chew.
  • A high-speed blender works too. Just blend with a splash of water, then strain for a clean, smooth juice.
  • If your juice comes out too tangy or spicy, toss in an extra orange. If it's a little too sweet, a squeeze of lemon or pinch of turmeric can balance it out.
  • A small pinch of sea salt or a shake of cayenne can round out the flavors and give the juice a little edge.
Serve: Try it with fruit salad, yogurt and granola, french toast, or a veggie scramble in the morning. For a snack, pair it with raw nuts, hummus and crackers, deviled eggs, or avocado toast.
Store: Store it in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. The flavor is strongest in the first few hours. Shake before drinking, since it may separate. For longer storage, freeze it in ice cube trays and thaw as needed. Freezing may slightly mellow the flavor.
