Peeled orange segments blended with grated carrot, ginger, ground flaxseed and water. Because the whole segments go in, you keep the fibre that a juicer throws away, and the flaxseed adds omega-3 fats. It is a cheap winter drink when oranges are in season, good mid-morning or an hour before a workout.

Ingredients
Method
- 1
Peel the oranges, pull the segments apart and pick out any seeds. Pull off the thick white strands but do not worry about the thin membrane.
- 2
Add the segments, grated carrot, ginger, flaxseed and water to the blender jar. Blend on high for 60 seconds until smooth; the carrot should not be visible as flecks.
- 3
Add the ice, pulse twice and pour. Drink within 10 minutes; the pulp settles as it stands.
Tips
- Nagpur oranges in December and January are sweetest and cheapest.
- Strain if you dislike pulp, but you will lose about half the fibre.
