Orange, Carrot and Ginger Juice


At the end of the day this is just a juice so writing a paragraph on it is kind of pointless. I recently bought a better blender, and so like whenever I get a new kitchen toy, right before falling asleep I think of recipes. For some reason this combination sounded good, refreshing and perfect as a morning pick-me-up. I personally love ginger (men, cookies, ale, beer, bread, etc.) so I added a sizeable amount. Adjust to your taste keeping in mind it is very strong. 

Ingredients

1 carrot
1 orange
about a 2 cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled

Blend all the ingredients in a high-powered blender and enjoy! If you don't like pulp simply strain the juice before drinking.
