A copycat of the First Watch Morning Meditation drink, made with fresh oranges, lemon, beet, turmeric, and ginger. Bright, layered, lightly sweet, and ready in about 10 minutes — a morning refresher or post-workout drink.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium oranges, peeled
  • ½ lemon, peeled
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root (or ½ tsp ground ginger)
  • 1 inch fresh turmeric root (or ½ tsp ground turmeric)
  • Pinch of black pepper (optional, helps absorb turmeric)
  • ¼ raw beet, peeled
  • 1–2 teaspoons agave nectar, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel everything. Cut the oranges, lemon, and beet into chunks that fit your juicer’s feed tube.
  2. Juice the oranges, lemon, ginger, and turmeric together. Stir in the agave and optional black pepper.
  3. Pour the orange base into your glass, filling it about ¾ full.
  4. Juice the beet separately. Stir in a little agave to taste.
  5. Slowly drizzle the beet juice over the back of a spoon into the glass, or pour gently down the side, for the two-tone sunrise effect.
  6. Drink immediately over ice, or stir to combine. Store extra in a sealed glass jar; shake before drinking.

Notes

  • Beet: start with ¼ — it’s very potent. Add more next time if you want.
  • Layering: orange base first, beet on top, poured slowly.
  • Storage: keeps 24–48 hours (centrifugal) or 3–4 days (cold press) in an airtight glass jar.
  • No juicer: blend everything with ¼ cup water, then strain through a nut milk bag or fine sieve.
  • Substitutions: honey or maple syrup for agave; ground turmeric or ginger (½ tsp each), stirred into the finished juice.
  • Shortcut: use 8 oz store-bought orange juice and just juice fresh beet, ginger, and turmeric. Mix the ginger and turmeric into the OJ with agave, then layer the beet on top.
