Start your morning with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice with no added sugar!

Yield: 1 250ml glass
Prep time: 5 minutes

Fresh Squeezed Valencia Orange Juice

I cannot resist freshly squeezed orange juice. What used to be a luxury when staying in hotels or dining in restaurants is now a task I can complete in a matter of minutes with my Nutri Ninja. Plus, there's no added sugar, no preservatives; no nasties at all. Nothing but pure, pulpy orange juice just the way God intended.

I dare you not to like this recipe! It's the perfect way to start your morning, whether you sip it alongside a steaming bowl of stick-to-your-ribs strawberry quinoa or with a fancy plate of gluten free Eggs Benedict or own its own.

A note on the recipe: this creates a very pulpy orange juice, but if you'd rather sip without the bits, feel free to pass your juice through a strainer or a muslin or cheese cloth before pouring into your glass.

Ingredients:

For the orange juice
3 large Valencia oranges
handful of ice

Homemade, No Added Sugar Orange Juice

Instructions:

1. Roll the ripe oranges on the counter top or in your hands to release the juice.
2. Top and tail each orange and then cut down against the skin, to remove the skin and as much of the white pith as possible.
3. Toss the oranges into your Nutri Ninja (yes, you can toss them in whole once you've removed the skin).
4. Add a handful of ice and screw on the blade attachment.
5. Simply choose the ultra blend option and wait patiently (it only takes 40 seconds) for the machine to work its magic. 
6. If you don't want the pulp, pass the juice through a sieve, muslin or cheese cloth before decanting. Otherwise, enjoy!
