Instructions

Preparation

Peel and roughly chop the oranges.
Wash and dice the carrots into 1-inch pieces.
Peel the ginger.

Juicing

Feed the oranges, carrots, and ginger through a juicer. If using a centrifugal juicer, ensure that the pulp is completely extracted.

Combining & Chilling

Pour the freshly squeezed juice into a jar or pitcher.
Add the chia seeds and stir well to combine.
If desired, add honey or maple syrup to taste, and/or squeeze in the juice of half a lime for extra zest. If the mixture is too thick, add water to adjust consistency.
Allow the mixture to sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the drink. Stir again before serving.
Enjoy your refreshing Ginger Carrot & Orange Chia Seed Fresca!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Fresca

For a smoother texture, strain the juice after juicing to remove any remaining pulp.
Adjust the amount of ginger to your preference. Start with less and add more if you like a stronger ginger flavor.
For a sweeter drink, add a touch of honey or maple syrup to taste. Consider agave nectar for a vegan-friendly option.
Store leftover fresca in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The chia seeds will continue to absorb liquid, potentially thickening the drink further.
