Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large oranges peeled and seeds removed
- 1 cup carrots peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 inch fresh ginger peeled and sliced
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks for creaminess and chill
- 0.5 cup coconut water or plain filtered water
- 0.5 tsp ground turmeric for extra antioxidants
- 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp honey optional, to taste
Notes
For the smoothest results, use a high-speed blender to fully pulverize the raw carrots. If you don't have one, you can steam the carrots for 5 minutes and cool them before blending. Store leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours, though separation is natural—just shake before drinking. You can substitute frozen pineapple for mango for a more tropical flavor profile.
