Pro Tips
1. Roast the Bell Peppers: For added depth of flavor, consider roasting the red bell peppers before blending. Simply char them over an open flame or roast in the oven until the skins blister. Peel off the skins before chopping and blending.
2. Grate the Carrots: Instead of chopping, try grating the carrots for easier blending and a smoother texture. This can reduce blending time and result in a more consistent mixture.
3. Remove Tomato Seeds: For a smoother juice, consider deseeding the tomatoes along with removing the core. This can help reduce bitterness and improve the overall texture.
4. Chill Ingredients in Advance: To ensure a refreshingly cold juice without diluting the flavor with ice, chill the ingredients in the refrigerator for a few hours before blending.
5. Add Zest for More Citrus Flavor: For a more pronounced citrus taste, consider adding a bit of grated orange zest before blending. Just be sure to wash the oranges thoroughly before zesting.
