The meeting of earthy root vegetables and sunny citrus. The sweetness of the carrot complements the acidity of the orange. Carrot's beta-carotene (precursor to Vitamin A) is fat-soluble, so add a drop of oil or drink it with a meal for better absorption.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Juicer
  • Peeler

Instructions

1

Wash carrots thoroughly and trim ends. Peel the oranges.

Tip: You don't strictly have to peel carrots if they are young and washed well; the skin holds many vitamins.
2

Feed carrots, oranges, and ginger alternately into the juicer.

Tip: Hard carrots help 'push' the softer orange fibers through the machine.
3

Stir in the lemon juice and consume immediately.

Tip: The spiciness of ginger (gingerol) balances the earthy sweetness of the carrot.
