Why You Should Try This Recipe
- Easy & Refreshing: It's an easy juice recipe bursting with flavors and just a hint of spice.
- Healthy Juice: It's a healthy drink like my Fennel Juice with nutrient-packed fresh ingredients and no added sugars.
Ingredients & Notes
- Carrots: Use fresh carrots. I try to go for locally grown (from farmers I know) or organic. And I always buy extra to make this Carrot Orange Soup or Carrot And Banana Smoothie.
- Fresh oranges: I usually get the type of oranges known to be sweet and juicy, like navel oranges or Valencia oranges. Blood oranges are also a great choice.
- Apple: Choose anything sweet or semi-sweet, such as Gala apples, Red Delicious, Fuji, or Golden Delicious.
- Lemon: This fruit adds a subtle tanginess to balance the naturally sweet flavors.
- Fresh ginger: An anti-inflammatory medicinal herb adding a hint of spice. Feel free to add more of this powerful root than the recipe card suggests. Use any leftovers to make my Avocado Apple Smoothie or Melon Ginger Smoothie.
- Coconut water: Always go for an unsweetened version. It's a great source of natural minerals and absolutely refreshing in this delicious homemade juice.
Equipment
- All you need is a high-speed blender—I love my Vitamix, but any high-speed blender will do.
- A nut milk bag or mesh strainer. I prefer a nut milk bag because it's easier to get all the juice out. If you opt for a strainer, it's best to use a spoon to help push the juice through.
- Pyrex jug or bowl: Make sure your bowl is large enough to capture all that delicious juice.
Recipe Steps
Step One (Picture 1 above) - Chop the carrots and fresh fruits.
Step Two (Picture 2 above) - Throw them in the blender with the grated ginger.
Step Three (Picture 3 above) - Pour in the coconut water.
Step Four (Picture 4 above) - Blend until you get a smooth orange-colored drink.
Step Five (Picture 5 above) - Transfer the blend to a strainer or nut milk bag set over a bowl or jug. Gently squeeze until the fruit and vegetable juice is captured and only pulp remains. Discard the pulp.
Step Six (Picture 6 above) - Pour the orange carrot ginger juice into individual glasses and enjoy!
Note: If you use a mesh strainer, a spoon can help to push the juice through.
Storage
It's best to enjoy it immediately, but you can store it in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to two days.
