Vegan Fresh Orange Juice
Few things beat a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice made entirely from scratch — no additives, no preservatives, just pure citrus. Navel and Valencia oranges are both excellent choices here, each bringing a slightly different balance of sweetness and brightness to the glass. A pinch of salt is a small but surprisingly effective touch that rounds out the flavor and makes the natural sweetness pop even more. The whole process is as simple as halving the fruit, pressing it on a juicer, and deciding how much pulp you're in the mood for. Since every ingredient is entirely plant-based, there's nothing to second-guess — just clean, vibrant juice you made yourself. It's the kind of recipe that reminds you how good food can taste when you keep things simple.

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.
