Do you guys ever meal prep juice? It’s really easy to prep in batches and can make a great breakfast, lunch, or post-workout snack.
We have an orange tree in our backyard with an abundance of fruit, so this carrot and orange juice is one of my favorites to make.
I started drinking half-orange half-carrot juice drinks about a decade ago (has it really been that long?!?) in college when started most of my mornings at Jamba Juice.
Now, I prefer to save money by making it myself at home. To save time, I make three days worth at once so I don’t have to make it every morning. Fresh juice is best consumed within 72 hours, so if you want a week’s worth I recommend doing a second batch mid-week.
Orange & Carrot Juice Benefits
