- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash, peel, and chop the carrots into smaller pieces to make them easier to blend. Peel the oranges and separate them into segments. If using ginger, peel and slice it.
- Juicing with a Juicer (If Available):
- Feed the carrots, oranges, and ginger (if using) through a juicer. Collect the juice in a pitcher or glass, stirring to blend the flavors.
- Blending with a Blender:
- Place the carrots, oranges, ginger, and water in a blender. Blend on high until smooth.
- For a smoother juice, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a glass or pitcher, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible.
- Serve: Pour the fresh juice into a glass, add ice cubes if desired, and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutrient content.
