Xanthan Gum Free Gluten Free Carrot Orange Juice
Bright, sweet carrots and juicy oranges come together in a glass that tastes like sunshine ā earthy, citrusy, and just a little zippy if you add that optional hit of fresh ginger. This is the kind of drink that makes you feel genuinely good about what you're putting in your body, and it comes together with nothing more than whole produce and a blender or juicer. For anyone navigating gluten-free living, it's worth noting that this juice is naturally free of any thickeners or additives ā no hidden stabilizers, no gums, just real ingredients doing all the work. The straining step is key: pressing the pulp through a fine-mesh strainer gives you a smooth, clean juice rather than a thick smoothie, so the texture is refreshing and light. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup lets you dial in the sweetness to your liking, making it easy to customize for kids and adults alike. Serve it over ice right away and it's an instant crowd-pleaser at brunch or a seriously satisfying afternoon pick-me-up.
