This morning eye-opener is an outstanding source of vitamins A and C. If you drink it fresh from the extractor, the orange and lemon rinds add a lovely, subtle flavor. Otherwise, peel the orange and lemon before juicing, as the rinds will make the juice bitter after sitting for an hour or two. Look for ripe pineapple with a mild aroma and golden peel.
Ingredients
- 1 small orange, including rind, seeded and cut into pieces
- 1/8 small, ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into pieces
- 2 carrots, scrubbed clean and cut into pieces
- 1/4 small lemon, including rind, seeded
Directions
In an extractor, juice the orange, pineapple, carrots and lemon, in that order, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Stir and serve. Serves 1.
