Ingredients
-
2 large carrots, peeled
-
1 sweet apple (Honeycrisp or Gala), cored
-
1 orange, peeled
-
½ lemon, unpeeled (optional: peel for milder taste)
-
½ pear, sliced
-
1-inch piece fresh ginger (optional, peeled for spice)
Instructions
-
Wash all produce thoroughly under cool water.
-
Peel the orange and ginger. Core the apple and pear.
-
Juice the carrots first, then apple, followed by the remaining ingredients.
-
Mix everything well to evenly blend flavors.
-
Taste and adjust: add more ginger for spice or more pear for sweetness.
-
Serve chilled or over ice. Enjoy fresh or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Notes
-
For a thinner texture, strain through a nut milk bag or sieve.
-
For more zest, leave the lemon peel on.
-
Store juice in airtight containers to reduce oxidation.
-
Freeze leftovers in ice cube trays for smoothies or mocktails later.
-
Kid-friendly tip: tone down ginger and add more apple or pear.
