Ingredients
Juice Ingredients
- 6 cups orange juice (about 8-10 oranges), freshly squeezed
- 2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
- 1 large beet, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Roughly chop the carrots and beet to make them easier to blend smoothly.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the chopped carrots, beet, freshly squeezed orange juice, and honey (if using) into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is fully integrated and smooth.
- Strain Juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine strainer or sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp or solids, ensuring a smooth juice texture.
- Chill: Refrigerate the strained juice until well-chilled, allowing the flavors to meld and the drink to be refreshingly cool.
- Serve: Serve the juice cold for the best flavor and refreshing effect.
Notes
- Use organic carrots and beets when possible for the best flavor and health benefits.
- Adjust honey amount or omit it based on your sweetness preference or dietary needs.
- For a fiber-rich version, skip the straining step and consume the juice as a smoothie.
- This juice is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Wearing gloves while handling beets helps prevent staining your hands.
