2 oranges, peeled
2 large, organic carrots, chopped
½ to 1 inch ginger to taste
Splash of water
Chilled ice if desired
Squeeze one of the orange into your blender to provide enough juice to help it blend. Then add the rest of the orange pulp and the second orange, both carrots and the ginger to your blender.
Add a splash of water to help it blend and thin out the consistency. You’ll need to add more water if you include the orange pith like I do and less water if you don’t. The pith is loaded with fiber. Blend all the ingredients until smooth.
