3 blood oranges (regular oranges work here as well)
2 medium sized (5 to 6-inches) long carrots
2 baby beets, any color works here
1 (1-inch) piece of fresh ginger
1 (1-inch) piece of fresh turmeric*
Ice
Steps
Using a knife, remove the peel and pith surrounding the blood oranges. Discard peel and pith. Trim carrots and beets of any greens, and scrub off any dirt under cold, running water. Save greens for another use (salad or pesto are good options). Peel ginger, and rinse turmeric.
Using a juicer, juice oranges, carrots, beets, ginger and turmeric into a clean glass. Stir to combine. Add ice to taste. Enjoy immediately.
Don’t have a juicer? This juice can be made in a blender, but a little more prep is needed. Cut the peeled blood oranges into several pieces, and pick out and discard any pits. Add blood orange fruit to a blender. Peel the carrots, beets and turmeric. Slice carrots, beets, ginger and turmeric, and also add to the blender. Blend on high speed until smooth. Pour into a large glass, and add ice if desired.

San Diego Home Designer on 2015-01-25 (5 stars): Wow! I love oranges. I have to try this one of these days. Is there any alternative for ginger?
DessertForTwo on 2015-01-24 (5 stars): I'm so into all the juices lately! I have single handedly eaten 3 bags of blood oranges this season. Not a single one made it to the juicer-for shame! Next bag, this recipe is on the list! :)
