Key Ingredients & Substitutions
This juice uses fresh produce to create a clean, immune-boosting drink with layers of citrus and spice.
Oranges: Fresh navel, Valencia, or Cara Cara oranges bring natural sweetness and vitamin C. If using mandarins or blood oranges, add an extra one for sweetness.
Carrots: Provide natural sweetness and beta-carotene for a bright color and silky texture. Baby carrots or full-size carrots both work.
Fresh Ginger: Adds warmth and anti-inflammatory benefits. If you’d like a milder flavor, start with a small slice and adjust to taste.
Lemon Juice: Balances sweetness and boosts vitamin C. Lime works if you’re out of lemon.
Water: Helps blend smoothly. Coconut water is a great hydrating substitute.
Optional Enhancers: Turmeric, black pepper, or a pinch of cayenne for extra immune support and warmth.
