Orange Ginger & Honey Juice

 The weather is warm outside and the kids are on a vacation from school. So many places to visit and lot of things to explore. No time to cook an elaborate meal, but lot of quick healthy snacks, juices, smoothies and shakes and that's how things go. So you will see lot of simple and quick healthy beverage ideas in the coming posts. A few weeks back, my elder one wanted to make a banana milk shake all by himself and tried to search for the recipe in my site. That's when I decided to post these simple juice, shakes and smoothie recipes which will be helpful for kids and novice cooks. Stay hydrated and have a happy, healthy summer.



Preparation Time - 5 Minutes

Cooking Time - Nil

Serves - 1





Ingredients



Orange - 1

Ginger - 1/2 inch piece (skin peeled)

Honey - 1 Tsp or to taste

Water - 1/2 Cup

Ice cubes - few optional





Method



1) Cut the orange into half. Then cut each half into two pieces. Peel them and cut once again to remove the seeds and the thick white pith. (I do  not remove the soft white skin)



2) Place the orange pieces, ginger, honey and water in your blender and blend till smooth. Add the ice cubes and blend once again and enjoy.



Note - I used vitamix, so there was no need to filter and discard the fiber. The fiber in the juice makes you full for a longer time so do not strain and throw them away. Also if you are diabetic, do not go for fruit juices. Go for vegetable juices (excluding carrots & beets).
