Wow! I never would have thought to mix carrots with grapefruit, but Orange Morning does it! I was very pleasantly surprised at how good this fruit juice is. The combination of grapefruit, carrots and ginger is perfect. The grapefruit isn’t near as strong with the carrot and ginger added in. Honestly I could barely taste the carrots and there’s just the slightest hint of ginger. This is one time where I can actually add the suggested amount of ginger in a juice and not be overwhelmed by it.
Orange Morning
“Another great morning staple but one where the sharp, awakening grapefruit tang is tempered by the sweet, rich carrot” – Orange Morning from The Big Book of Juices
In my opinion, one of the best grapefruit juice recipes out there and pretty low in calories. Only 152 calories according to Juice Recipe Builder | Juice Recipes, and that’s if you drink the entire 20 ounces.
Makes 20 ounces
- 2 grapefruits
- 3 carrots
- 1/2 inch ginger root
“A glass of chilled grapefruit juice, especially in winter, helps seriously boost your levels of vitamin C, which gives grapefruits a high place amongst various citrus fruits. It’s packed with the benefits derived from various nutrients and vitamins, including potassium and lycopene.” – Organicfacts.net
