Juice blends are easy to prep, inexpensive, and delicious. We think that fresh fruit blends, made right at home, are the best option for a Paleo diet. That’s because pre-made juices are often filled with non-Paleo sugars, no matter how little is included.
You don’t need to add sugar or any other sweetener to this juice blend, though – the natural citrus flavors and sweetness are enough to make this a satisfying drink!
We love this orange juice recipe for a few reasons: It’s easy to scale this up or down as needed; you can make adjustments to the recipe based on your taste and preferences, and it includes yummy and nutritionally beneficial ginger and turmeric root.
Fresh ginger adds a host of benefits to your drink, including anti-inflammatory properties, which help a ton with sore joints and digestive pain. While the health benefits of fresh turmeric might be a bit overstated, this spice still has a ton of other nutrients and oxidation-prevention properties (plus, it’s just a tasty addition to your drink anyway!).
Locating fresh turmeric might be a bit difficult for some; check out local Middle Eastern groceries, chain grocery stores that specialize in unique products, and online retailers. If needed, you can substitute ground turmeric; just make sure to adjust the amount accordingly.
This juice is a yummy drink to add to any meal, but if you’re already planning on a big breakfast, why not whip up a batch of it to serve too? Try pairing this juice alongside a plate of egg and vegetable muffin cups for a great, on-the-go meal.
