Ingredients

Carrots

2 medium carrots (about 100g)

Oranges

2 large oranges peeled and seeds removed (about 200g without peel)

Fresh ginger

1-inch piece fresh ginger (about 10g)

Powdered Erythritol

1 tablespoon powdered erythritol (14g)

Fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15ml)

Water

2 cups water (473ml)

Ice cubes

ice cubes optional for serving

Instructions

Begin by thoroughly washing the carrots and peeling them if desired. Roughly chop the carrots into chunks that will be manageable for your blender.
Peel the oranges, ensuring to remove all the pith and seeds, which can add bitterness. Segment the oranges into smaller pieces.
Peel the ginger using the edge of a spoon or a peeler and slice it into a few smaller pieces to make blending easier.
Place the carrots, orange segments, and ginger pieces into a high-powered blender.
Add the powdered erythritol and fresh lemon juice to the blender. The erythritol will provide sweetness without adding any carbohydrates, while the lemon juice will add a bright, tangy flavor.
Pour in the water, which will help everything blend smoothly and adjust the consistency of our immunity booster.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth. This may take 1-2 minutes depending on the power of your blender.
Once blended, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a large pitcher or bowl to remove the pulp, which will ensure a smooth drink while keeping it low in carbohydrates.
Serve the immunity booster immediately over ice if desired, or chill in the refrigerator for later consumption.

Notes

Adjust sweetness to taste: You can increase or decrease the amount of powdered erythritol based on your personal preference.

Storage: This drink is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be sure to stir well before serving as separation may occur.

For a thicker smoothie-like texture, reduce the water by half and skip the straining step.

If you are strict keto and concerned about the natural sugars in oranges, you can substitute with a keto-friendly orange extract or flavoring, and adjust the sweetness as necessary.
