There is something deeply satisfying about a glass of juice made entirely from fruit you squeezed yourself — bright, fragrant, and nothing like the carton stuff. Navel and Valencia oranges are the gold standard here, delivering a naturally sweet, slightly tart flavor that needs almost no help. A tiny pinch of salt is the only optional addition, and it subtly rounds out the citrus without masking it. For anyone navigating lupin sensitivities, this kind of recipe is a breath of fresh air — two ingredients, zero hidden additives, and no processed fillers to second-guess. Straining out the seeds and pulp takes only a moment and gives you that clean, smooth sip, though leaving the pulp in is equally valid if you like a little texture. It comes together in minutes and is best served the second it's made, while the flavor is still vivid and alive.

Halve 4 large oranges crosswise. Press each half firmly onto a citrus juicer and twist to extract the juice, working over a measuring cup or bowl until all halves are juiced — you should have about 2 cups of juice.
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.
