Citrus
Golden Zing Orange & Ginger Smoothie
A bright orange, carrot and ginger smoothie with turmeric and ice for a fresh, lightly spicy citrus blend.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Fresh Orange Juice (or peeled orange) | 1/2 cup (120 ml) |
| Carrot — sliced coins | 1/2 cup (60–80 g) |
| Fresh Ginger | 1–2 tsp, grated |
| Turmeric Powder | 1/4–1/2 tsp |
| Ice Cubes | 5–6 cubes |
| Water (or coconut water) | 1/4–1/3 cup (60–80 ml) |
| Optional for creaminess: a splash of milk/yoghurt | 1–2 tbsp |
| Optional: tiny pinch of black pepper | 1–2 grinds |
Method
- Liquids First: Add the orange juice and water to your Smothie bottle.
- Add the Good Stuff: Tip in the carrot slices, ginger, and turmeric (plus black pepper if using).
- Chill: Add the ice cubes. For a creamy top, pour a splash of milk/yoghurt last so it streaks for that layered look.
- Blend: 45–60 seconds until bright and slushy‑smooth. If too thick, add a splash more water.
Make it your own: For an extra-smooth texture, lightly soften the carrot and cool it before blending. Coconut water also works well in place of plain water.

Portable blending notes
Add liquid before powders and firmer ingredients where possible. Cut larger pieces down to size, avoid overfilling the bottle, and add a small splash of liquid if the mixture is too thick to circulate.
Serve and enjoy straight away for the best texture.
