Whole 30 Fresh Orange Juice
Freshly squeezed orange juice is one of those simple pleasures that tastes wildly better than anything poured from a carton, and this version delivers exactly that. Store-bought juices often sneak in added sugars, natural flavors, or preservatives that can quietly knock a drink out of compliance — squeezing your own sidesteps all of that entirely. All you need are a few ripe navel or Valencia oranges and a citrus juicer, and you're done in minutes. The optional pinch of salt is a small but clever touch that rounds out the natural sweetness and brightens the citrus flavor without adding anything off-plan. Strain it for a clean, smooth glass or leave the pulp in for extra body — either way, it's vibrant, refreshing, and completely unprocessed. It's the kind of drink that makes a weekend breakfast feel like a real occasion.

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.
