Ingredients List
Main Ingredients
- 5 ripe peaches, washed and pitted
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
- ½ cup ice cubes
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or sugar, optional
Optional Add-Ins
- ½ cup pineapple chunks for a tropical flavor
- ½ cup carrot juice for a deeper orange color
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric for a wellness-style drink
- A few mint leaves for freshness
- ½ cup coconut water instead of plain water
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the peaches
Wash the peaches well. Cut them in half, remove the pits, and slice them into pieces. You can peel them if you want a smoother juice, but keeping the skin adds more color and flavor.
2. Prepare the mango
Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the seed. Chop it into small cubes so it blends easily.
3. Prepare the lemon and ginger
Squeeze fresh lemon juice and remove any seeds. Peel the ginger and cut it into a small piece.
4. Add everything to the blender
Add peaches, mango, orange juice, cold water, lemon juice, ginger, ice cubes, and honey or sugar if using.
5. Blend until smooth
Blend for 1–2 minutes until the juice becomes smooth, thick, and golden-orange. If it is too thick, add a little more cold water or orange juice.
6. Taste and adjust
Taste the juice. If the peaches are not sweet enough, add honey or sugar. If the drink tastes too sweet, add more lemon juice. If you want a stronger fresh kick, add a little more ginger.
7. Strain if needed
For a smoother bottled juice like the image, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. If you like a thicker smoothie-style texture, skip straining.
8. Serve chilled
Pour into glasses or clean bottles. Serve immediately with ice, or refrigerate until cold.
