Paleo Fresh Orange Juice
Few things feel as purely satisfying as a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and this one is about as clean and wholesome as a drink can get. With nothing but ripe navel or Valencia oranges and an optional pinch of salt, it fits naturally into a whole-foods way of eating without any effort at all. The salt is a small but clever touch — it subtly rounds out the sweetness and brightens the citrus flavor in a way that's hard to put your finger on but impossible to ignore. Pressing and twisting each half on a citrus juicer takes just minutes, and the result is a vibrant, fresh-tasting juice that no carton can come close to matching. You can strain it smooth or leave it gloriously pulpy depending on your mood. Serve it immediately for the best flavor and the highest hit of natural vitamin C.

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.
