The “Golden Zing”
Two of your images show oranges, carrots, ginger, turmeric powder and ice — so that’s exactly what we use here.
Here’s what you’ll need:
| Ingredient | Estimated Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh Orange Juice (or peeled orange) | 1/2 cup (120 ml) | Sweet, ripe orange = best flavor. |
| Carrot — sliced coins | 1/2 cup (60–80 g) | Raw slices blend fine in small blenders; steamed + cooled for extra smooth. |
| Fresh Ginger | 1–2 tsp, grated | Adjust to your heat preference. |
| Turmeric Powder | 1/4–1/2 tsp | Gives that sunny glow. |
| Ice Cubes | 5–6 cubes | For a frosty finish. |
| Water (or coconut water) | 1/4–1/3 cup (60–80 ml) | Helps it spin smoothly. |
| Optional for creaminess: a splash of milk/yogurt | 1–2 tbsp | Makes the pale top you see in the photo. |
| Optional: tiny pinch of black pepper | 1–2 grinds | Helps turmeric absorption (piperine). |
Let’s Get Blending!
-
Liquids First: Add the orange juice and water to your blender cup.
-
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/yogurt 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.
Done! A zesty, immunity‑minded Golden Zing to wake up your morning.
