so orange
February 22, 2011 I haven’t juiced in about a week, out of laziness + lack of veggies that I’m not planning on using for lunch or dinner.
A few things I seemed to have an abundance of today, were oranges + carrots, which sounded like the perfect combo. This time I peeled the oranges, which definitely helped with the bitterness issue I had last time.
A spicy kick from ginger is always welcome in my glass.
These photos are edited, but not color enhanced. This juice was the most vibrant orange….ever!
This was such a simple but refreshing combination, especially if you are new to juicing.
Orange Carrot Ginger Juice [serves 1]
- 5 large carrots
- 3 small/medium oranges, peeled
- 1/2T size chunk of ginger
sLuRrrrp!

Holy Vitamin A, Batman!!
I had carrot + apple + ginger juice today, and it was amazing! I love the zing that the ginger adds!
oOHH! Super looking! I love orange foods (squash, sweet potato....that's it) so I bet I'd like that :D Come summer, it's time for me to uncover my juicer methinks...
Holy moly, that's orange! I'll just have to take your word for how good this was---no juicer for me :(
That is gorgeous! Looks electric!
I haven't juiced in a while due to lack of veggies too - but I have those ingredients!!
well, only two oranges that are supposed to last us all week. Can you juice a banana!? We have lots of those.
Wow! I'm not sure I've seen anything so orange in my life! I would have loved to just try a sip to see what "orange" tastes like.
that is seriously orange hehe. but beautiful! i want some.
Oh man, this is so beautiful and vibrant!
That juice puts orange soda to shame with its color! :)
That looks delicious! Simplicity is best. :)
Beautiful colors! I've never juiced and this looks enticing!!
I love the addition of ginger. I might be inclined to dirty my juicer for this one-it's gorgeous!
LOVE carrot juice. When Costco wasn't selling the organic carrots in bulk, I opted for the carrot juice they carry, and that was just as good. :) It helps when I get a little lazy.
That color is so amazing!
Haha, I laugh at the thought of juicing a banana. Let me know if you have luck with that! :)
I drank that combo yesterday, since I feel a cold coming on. Perfect juice pairing if you're feeling under the weather- chock full of vitamin C and beta carotene. Lurve it.
I LOVE that flavor combination and color! I roasted sweet potato wedges with orange, ginger and turmeric...it was so good!
What Juicer do you use? This vibrant orange color is making me crave SPRING
Such a pretty color - I bet it was good too :)
Gosh, what a beautiful and creative way to satisfy your daily veggie intake!
That is the most beautiful shade of orange!!
I always get carrot/orange juice at Jamba Juice. So delicious...especially because I don't have to clean the juicer.
what BEAUTIFUL juice! :)
ooooh pretty! I'll take an 8oz glass please! =)
My favorite blender juice at the moment is fresh pineapple, mint, young Ginger & a little water - sooooo refreshing & can add a few frozen raspberries to make it icy cold. Yum!
yum! this looks delicious! i've been smoothie-ing it up lately on a cleanse, I'll have to try adding in orange juice to my combo!
I can't get enough California oranges right now. They are so good. I hadn't thought of adding ginger- thanks for the tip.
Gorgeous! I want/need a juicer, and when I get one, I'm going to try this combo first. My mom is obsessed with carrot juice, so I remember trying it an a very early age. Mmmm.
That juice is gorgeously orange! I don't have a juicer, but if I did this is one I would want to try.
I still have never used fresh ginger in my smoothies, but I think I might take the plunge. I love your concoction - so healthy!!
I love juicing carrots...it's the best shade of orange ever!
Holy gorgeous. That second shot with the drops on the straw? Stunning. You have such an amazing talent!
Oh, and the juice looks OK, too. ;)
LOVE the colour of your juice! I've been hooked since I got my juicer a little over 2 weeks ago too. Yesterday I made a juice out of grapes, carrots, lemon & Romaine and the result was a rainbow! Seriously, the glass was layered in different colors, so cool.
That really does sound perfect for a first round of juicing... not too crazy and nice sweet flavors!
This is the prettiest drink EVER! :)
I LOVE this juice! I only recently began juicing and this has been my combo every. single. day. since I bought my Breville. I do add an apple (usually Pink Lady though this week I bought Braeburn; will not use Fuji again, too grainy) and sometimes lemon juice, which adds an interesting pucker to the sweetness of the carrots/apples and then it is all followed up with a back-of-the-throat-kick of ginger. Yum.
PS: I got all crazy one day and added spinach as well...my first 'semi-green' juice. :)
Stellar orange juice!
Thanks girlie..you're too kind!
Wish I could come over and make juice for you right now!!
hahahaa...I'm picturing squeezing a banana for juice and it's cracking me up!
Have you made any banana juice yet?? hehehe
I just ordered that exact combo from a juice bar this a.m. and mine looked as vibrant as yours. Soooo good!!
I've been meaning to ask you if you are happy with your juicer selection. I'm in the market and wondered if you wish you had picked a higher model (ie, the juice fountain plus) or if you are still glad you decided on the compact. Any regrets or tips for me?
yumm!!! sounds great...boy my feet would REALLY orange if i drank that!!
SO funny...I just went back to an old post and found the photos of the amazing pecans you sent me!!!! :)
YES! I love it...I've never used another but have found zero issues with this one. My only half-complaint is that when you put the veggie/fruit in the shoot, it spits some of the pulp out before you're able to slide the tamper in. I'm not sure how other machines work in that regard, but it's really not a big deal. :) Just keep a wet towel around!
