Instructions
Wash, peel, and chop the carrots into small pieces.
- Peel and seed the oranges.
- If using a juicer: Juice the carrots and oranges and collect the liquid.
- If using a blender: Add carrots, orange segments, and water to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the blended mixture using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a jug or bowl to remove the pulp.
- Stir in optional ginger, lemon juice, or turmeric if using.
- Serve chilled or over ice. Stir before serving if needed.

- For added sweetness, blend with a small piece of pineapple or splash of apple juice.
