Low FODMAP Fresh Orange Juice
Bright, sweet, and bursting with natural citrus flavor, this freshly squeezed orange juice is about as simple and satisfying as a drink can get. For anyone navigating a low-FODMAP lifestyle, it's worth knowing that fresh-squeezed juice in moderate servings fits comfortably within the guidelines — and making it yourself means no hidden additives or high-fructose sweeteners lurking in a carton. All you need are ripe navel or Valencia oranges and a citrus juicer, and you're done in minutes. Straining out the seeds and pulp gives you a clean, smooth glass, though leaving the pulp in is totally your call. That optional pinch of salt is a small but clever touch that subtly rounds out the sweetness and makes the citrus flavor pop even more. It's the kind of recipe that reminds you how good the real thing tastes compared to anything from a bottle.

Pour the juice through a fine-mesh strainer into glasses to remove seeds and excess pulp, or skip the strainer if you prefer pulpy juice. Add a pinch of salt, if using, and stir briefly. Serve immediately.
