1. Prepare the ingredients
Wash the apples and carrots thoroughly. Peel the oranges and ginger. Remove the apple cores and cut all the ingredients into smaller pieces that will fit easily into your blender.
2. Blend
Add the oranges, apples, carrots, ginger, lemon juice, and cold water to a blender.
Blend on high for about 1–2 minutes, or until the mixture becomes as smooth as possible.
3. Adjust the consistency
If the drink is too thick, add another ½ to 1 cup of cold water and blend again.
For a smoother drink, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer. If you prefer more fiber, simply leave it unstrained.
4. Serve
Pour into glasses and serve immediately over ice if desired.
For the best flavor, enjoy it fresh rather than storing it for several days.
Helpful Tips
- Use ripe oranges and apples for natural sweetness.
- Start with a small amount of ginger and add more if you enjoy a stronger flavor.
- You don’t need to add sugar or honey.
- The drink provides fluids and nutrients from fruits and vegetables, but it should complement—not replace—a balanced diet.
Important Health Note
Despite claims sometimes shared online, this drink cannot be relied upon to destroy cancer cells, treat diabetes, cure gastritis, or reverse liver disease. Fruit juice can also contain a substantial amount of naturally occurring sugar, so people with diabetes should consider portions and their overall carbohydrate intake. Anyone being treated for cancer or liver, stomach, or metabolic disease should follow their healthcare professional’s treatment plan.
A simple homemade drink can be delicious and nutritious—but there is no need to promise a miracle to enjoy it.
