2 medium oranges, peeled and segmented
0.5 medium fennel bulb, trimmed and roughly chopped
0.5 cup water
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste) Shop
0.5 cup ice cubes

Instructions

1 Prepare the ingredients by peeling and segmenting the oranges, trimming and roughly chopping the fennel bulb, and peeling and roughly chopping the fresh ginger. Ensure the fennel is free of tough outer layers and the ginger is peeled to avoid any fibrous texture in the final juice.
2 Combine the prepared orange segments, chopped fennel bulb, water, chopped ginger, and fresh lemon juice in a high-speed blender. Add the ice cubes to ensure a chilled and refreshing juice.
3 Blend on high speed for approximately 60-90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and no fibrous pieces of fennel or ginger remain. Listen for the blender to achieve a consistent hum, indicating all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4 Taste the juice and, if desired, add 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. Blend for another 15-20 seconds to fully incorporate the sweetener.
5 Pour the vibrant fennel orange juice into two glasses and serve immediately for the freshest flavor and optimal texture. Enjoy this revitalizing and naturally sweet beverage.

Tips & Notes

Use the white fennel bulb and save the feathery fronds for garnish. The stalks are fibrous and hard to blend smooth.
Peel away as much of the white pith from the oranges as you can. Pith makes the juice bitter.
Fennel tastes mildly of anise. Start with half the chopped bulb, taste, and blend in the rest if you like the flavor.
