Ingredients:
4 medium carrots
2 large oranges
1-2 cups of water (adjust to your desired consistency)
Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
Honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prep Your Ingredients:
Wash and Peel Carrots: Give your carrots a good wash. You can peel them if you prefer a milder taste, though the skin also has nutrients.
Chop Carrots: Cut carrots into small pieces to make blending easier.
Prepare Oranges: Peel and segment the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness. - Blend It All Together:
Add Ingredients to Blender: Place chopped carrots and orange segments in the blender.
Add Water: Pour in 1-2 cups of water, adjusting based on how thick or light you prefer your juice.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and fully combined. - Optional: Strain for Smoothness
Strain the Juice: If you like your juice silky-smooth, pour the mixture through a sieve, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag to remove the pulp. If you enjoy a bit of fiber, feel free to skip this step. - Sweeten and Serve
Taste and Sweeten: Give the juice a taste test and add honey or your favorite sweetener if desired. Blend briefly to mix.
Serve Chilled: Pour over ice cubes for a cool, refreshing drink.
