Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 medium-sized carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2-3 large oranges peeled and segmented
  • 1 small lemon juiced (optional, for added tang)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger peeled and grated (optional, for a hint of spice)
  • Ice cubes
  • Water as needed

Instructions
 

  • Use a citrus juicer or your hands to extract the juice from the oranges. Remove any seeds and pulp, leaving only the fresh orange juice.
  • In a blender, combine the chopped carrots, lemon and orange juice, and the grated ginger.
  • Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl or pitcher to strain the juice. Pour the blended carrot-orange mixture through the strainer to separate the pulp from the juice. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
  • If you prefer a thinner juice, you can add a bit of water to the strained juice and mix well. The amount of water you add will depend on your desired consistency.
  • Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the freshly strained carrot-orange juice over the ice. Give the juice a quick stir before serving. You can garnish with a small slice of orange or a twist of orange peel if desired.

Notes

Store carrot orange juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. However, you should drink it within 24 hours. Shake or stir before serving, as natural separation may occur over time.
