• It has no added sugars.
• You don't even need a juicer.
• It has tons of bursting flavors with just a hint of spice.
• And you can enjoy this yummy drink any time of the day.

Ingredients & Notes

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

• 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.
• 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

See the full recipe with measurements in the recipe card.

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.

Notes

HELPFUL NOTES

Do I need to peel the carrots? No, you don't. You can scrub or wash them. But I find the juice brighter and sweeter when the carrots are peeled.

Can I use a fine mesh strainer instead of a nut milk bag?  Yes. Hold the strainer over a bowl and pour the blended drink through the strainer. It's best to use a spoon to help you push the juice through.

Can I store the juice? It's best to enjoy it immediately, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight jug or container.
