Ingredients

  • 2 carrots, washed, peeled and diced
  • 2 oranges, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 cups coconut water, can substitute plain water if coconut water is not available
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh turmeric*
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger*
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons virgin coconut oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all of the ingredients except for the apple cider vinegar and coconut oil in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
  2. If you want to serve it warm, transfer the tonic to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer, then take off the heat (do not boil, as it can reduce the available nutrients in turmeric). If you prefer it served cold, skip this step.
  3. Carefully pour the tonic over a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, and squeeze out as much liquid as you can, then discard the pulp. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and coconut oil and then divide 2 or 3 mugs.

Notes

  • * If you have a powerful blender, you don’t have to grate the turmeric and ginger – you can simply roughly chop them and let the blender take care of the rest.
