Orange + Carrot Juice with Ginger

February 12, 2015

glass of carrot and orange juice with ice.

This four-ingredient Orange + Carrot + Ginger Juice is healthy, refreshing, vitamin-packed, and best of all it's easy to make! No juicer required - you can make this vibrant juice in the blender. Make it whenever you need a pick me up or an immunity boost during flu season. Here was the plan for this month - finish writing my book, take a day or two off to play with my family, go away on a grown-up girls only weekend, come back relaxed and ready to get back to work on the blog. In reality this is what happened - finished writing my book, took an entire week off, went on a grown-up girls only weekend and came back tired and grumpy (I'm blaming this on the alcohol, staying up too late chatting and floating a little too long in a hot tub. And yes, I feel fine blaming my grumpiness on the mixed drinks, it's all their fault:). Then to top it all off,  I got back home to a sick husband and two sick girls with double ear and eye infections, followed ...
