Health Benefits of Immune Boosting Juices

Drinking fresh juice with no added sugars can be a great way to add extra vitamins and minerals to your diet. Juicing is not necessarily healthier than drinking a smoothie or eating fresh fruits & vegetables, but it’s a great way to get the nutrients you need from fruits and vegetables and can be easier to digest.

This fresh juice is:

• High in vitamins
• Lots of fibre
• Has antioxidants
• Help with digestion
• Hydrating
• Has natural sugars
• Can help with weight loss

This recipe for homemade carrot, orange and ginger juice is the perfect combination of sweet, fresh and a hint of spice from the ginger. It’s perfect to drink in the Fall when it starts to get colder out and your immune system needs a little boost.

Best Oranges for Juicing

You can use any type of oranges you love for juicing, but here are a few of the best and most popular types:

• Valencia oranges: these oranges are very popular for juicing. They are sweet and the juice will store well in the fridge without becoming bitter.
• Tangerines: these are small and very sweet and delicious for juicing. Tangerines are also readily available in the Fall and Winter making them a great option for juicing.
• Blood oranges: these types of oranges are vibrant red inside making them beautiful to use in a juice. They also tend to be a very flavourful orange.

Tip: if using navel oranges for juicing, you’ll want to consume your juice within 24 hours. Navel oranges have a compound in them called limonin which can produce a bitter taste in the juice over time.

How to Make Orange Carrot Juice with a Blender

While having a juicer is a fun kitchen gadget to have on hand if you’re making a lot of juice, many of us don’t have the space to store a juicer. Plus they can be a little pricey.

Luckily, you don’t need a juicer to make fresh juice at home. All you need is a blender and something to strain the juice with (an almond milk bag, cheesecloth or fine strainer all work well.)

Step 1

Peel the carrots, oranges and ginger and add everything to your blender.

Tip: store the oranges in the fridge before juicing them to give you orange juice that is nice and cold.

Step 2

Blend on high until the mixture comes together. If you are having trouble getting everything to blend, it’s likely that your oranges aren’t very juicy. In this case, you can add more oranges to the blender or add a splash of water to help everything blend together.

Step 3

Grab a large bowl and a strainer, nut milk bag or cheesecloth. Pour the juice through your strainer or bag. If using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, use your hands to gently squeeze the juice through.

Step 4

Transfer the juice directly to glasses or to a jug to store in the fridge. Serve as is or over ice.

How to Store Orange Carrot Juice

Store juice in a sealed large jar or bottle in the fridge for up to a week. Before drinking, give the juice a shake in the bottle. It’s natural for some sediments to fall to the bottom of the juice.
