Fresh Orange-Carrot-Ginger Juice

Using a Blender (if no juicer)
Place carrots, orange segments, ginger, and 1 cup cold water in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 45-60 seconds. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag over a bowl, pressing or squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible. Reserve pulp for another use.

Finish & Adjust
If desired, add ice cubes to the pitcher and stir to chill. Taste the juice and add honey or agave 1 tsp at a time if you prefer it sweeter. Serve immediately over ice for best flavor and nutrient retention.
Creamy Banana-Almond Milk (no-cook)

Prep
If not already soaked, quickly soak almonds in very hot water for 15-20 minutes to soften, then drain. Chill almond milk and bananas if you prefer a colder drink.

Blend
In a blender combine peeled bananas, soaked/drained almonds, chilled almond milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, maple syrup (if using) and ice cubes (if using). Blend on high until completely smooth and frothy, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed, then blend again.

Strain (optional)
For an ultra-smooth texture, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing with a spatula. This step is optional — leaving it unstrained yields a thicker, smoothie-like milk.
