OCA: Orange, Carrot and Apple Drink

I am very pleased to say that I contributed with a post on Kichenscoop. Having been a reader and fan of this blog for a long time, I feel privileged to appear on it. Check my post as well as other delicious recipes by the lovely Beverly and Alicia.

The weekend is upon us, and we need to treat ourselves to a luxury breakfast after a long and laborious week. My brioche dough is already resting in the refrigerator, gaining some embonpoint; and I am ecstatic about tomorrow?s breakfast. I am planning to treat myself to an equally exciting drink. It is a drink that I have named OCA. After all, popular drinks everywhere have abbreviations, acronyms or nicknames. This one is very popular in my family, so, I thought it was deserving of an acronym. When you love something so much that you plan to have it regularly, it is only wise to shorten it somehow, just like you do with people you love. It saves energy, and, well, it sounds hip, I think. If it is OK to say Cup of Joe or OJ, then why not call this drink OCA. It makes it sound as part of the family.

OCA

4 servings

1 cup chopped carrots
1 small apple, cored, peeled and chopped
3 cups orange juice

Place the carrots, apple and orange juice in a blender container and blend until very smooth. Enjoy it on its own or with a dash of cinnamon.
