Sunrise Juice Recipe

Peel and chop

Peel the oranges and separate into segments, removing any seeds. Wash and trim the carrots, then chop into pieces small enough for your juicer or blender. Peel the mango, remove the pit and chop the flesh into chunks. Peel a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger.

If you have a juicer

Feed the orange segments, carrot chunks, mango pieces, and ginger through the juicer. Collect the fresh juice in a pitcher. Stir briefly to combine.

If you have a blender

Place the orange segments, carrot chunks, mango pieces, peeled ginger, and 1 cup cold water (or coconut water) into the blender. Blend on high until completely smooth (about 45–60 seconds). If you prefer a thinner juice, add up to 1/2 cup more water and blend again.

Strain (optional)

For a smooth, juice-like texture, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a bowl or pitcher, using a spatula to press out as much liquid as possible. For a thicker, smoothie-style beverage, skip straining.

Stir in the juice of 1 fresh lemon. Taste and add honey or agave syrup if desired (start with 1 tablespoon, then add more to taste). If serving cold, stir in ice cubes or chill the juice in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.

Pour the Sunrise Juice into glasses. Garnish each glass with a sprig of mint and a thin orange slice on the rim. Serve immediately for best flavor and brightness.
