Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the carrots thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt.
- If using conventional (non-organic) carrots, consider peeling them. If organic, peeling is optional.
- Cut the carrots into pieces that will fit into your juicer or blender, usually about 2-3 inches long.
- Wash the oranges under cold running water.
- Peel the oranges to remove the skin, and also remove as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness.
- Separate the oranges into sections, or cut them into smaller pieces if using a blender.
- Wash the grapefruit under cold running water.
- Peel the grapefruit, removing the skin and as much of the white pith as possible.
- Separate the grapefruit into sections or cut into smaller pieces.
- If Using a Juicer:
- Feed the carrot pieces, orange sections, and grapefruit sections into your juicer.
- Collect the juice in a pitcher or large jug.
- If Using a Blender:
- Add the carrot pieces, orange pieces, and grapefruit pieces to the blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture through a strainer or cheesecloth into a jug to separate the juice from the pulp. You may need to press the mixture with a spoon to extract all the juice.
- Stir the juice to mix the flavors evenly.
- Serve immediately over ice if desired, or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
- Store any leftover juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Fresh juice is best consumed within 24-48 hours for optimal taste and nutrition.
Tips:
- Use fresh, organic produce to get the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
- Wash and peel the carrots thoroughly before juicing.
- To maximize juice yield, you can segment the oranges and grapefruit, removing as much pith as possible.
- If you don't have a juicer, you can use a high-speed blender and then strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a small piece of ginger or a handful of fresh mint leaves.
- Serve the juice immediately for the best taste, as nutrients can start to degrade over time.
- Chill your produce before juicing to enjoy a cooler beverage.
