4 servings
- ½ cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
Ingredient noteFruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lime juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lime juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 medium oranges)
Ingredient noteLow Residue diets limit fruit juices with pulp, but even juice with some pulp holds far less fiber than whole fruit, and the orange juice comes to a modest amount per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid orange juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
