Sunrise Juice
From The Kitchen
Named for its color and its timing — golden, gently sweet, and just tart enough from the lemon to wake you up.
Ingredients
- 3 carrots, scrubbed
- 1 apple, cored
- 1 orange, peeled
- ½ lemon, peeled
Method
- Prep the fruit and carrots, peeling the orange and lemon.
- Run everything through a juicer.
- Stir, pour over ice and enjoy. No juicer? Blend everything with ½ cup water, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut-milk bag.
Storage: Best fresh. Keeps 24 hours in a sealed jar filled to the top.
Serve it with
- A morning refresher
- Before a walk or workout
- With eggs or a protein breakfast
Stretch it with water
A splash of filtered water — or more — makes the juice go further and lightens the sugar in every glass. It's a gentle option if you're sensitive to sugar or simply looking to cut back. Start with about one part water to three parts juice, then adjust to your taste.
Gina's tip
A little lemon does more than add tang — it keeps the juice from browning and brightens every other flavor.
Something bright and fresh to open the day can set a gentle, good-to-yourself tone for everything that follows.
I hope this recipe finds a place in your kitchen as it has in mine. Enjoy!
