{recipe} Carrot Orange Juice

INGREDIENTS
1 part Orange Juice
1 part Carrot Juice
A touch of lemon or lime
A teensy pinch of sea salt
A bit of water (optional, I skip it)

INSTRUCTIONS
Just juice and combine! Only thing is that you’ll need 2 juicers for this. (I know, I know, 2 things to clean. More on that in a sec!)

SOME TIDBITS FOR YA

I have the WARING PRO JUICER (FOR CARROTS ETC.), which is a fabulous centrifugal juicer that works well for carrots, celery, cucumbers, and other “hard” veggies but not so great for wheatgrass or other greens. I got it on Amazon 3 or so years ago for maybe $50. Nothing like the pricetag you’ll find on many raw foodies’ juicers, but I’m still loving it.

(It’s even been through a hammer [long story] yet going strong.)

Why I like it? It’s easy to clean. Which is great for those of us who don’t have the patience or desire to clean, dry, and assemble 67 juicer parts.

And my CITRUS JUICER of choice is a Black and Decker model that works from limes up to grapefruits. I got it for maybe $20 at That Place I No Longer Shop At (starts with a “w”) and has been chugging along for ages.

I usually make a ton of this because it flies. People LOVED it at the raw bed and breakfast, when I had it at the breakfast hour. So cleaning the 2 machines was no big thing.

If you have some large glass bottles (think San Pellegrino bottles for a cheap and easy-to-find solution) and a funnel, you can keep this for a day or so in the fridge. Just give it a shake before serving it up.
