The oranges are from our friends Ruth and Aitana from Cullera (Spain), farmers of a small family business dedicated to the organic growing of citrus fruits www.naranjasdecullera.com. The chocolate used is from Adrián, another small producer of organic nougat from Alicante (Spain) www.nutxes.com.

Ingredients:

• 500 ml of natural water
• 2 whole organic oranges (with the peel)

Alternatives and tips

If you already have a Vegan Milker at home, we encourage you to try whole fruit juices, that is, not to discard the peel. Taking advantage of the nutrients and antioxidants that are concentrated in the peels is one way to optimize your food. Lemon juice, orange juice or any other fruit juice with using their edible peel changes radically. The juice is more concentrated and the flavor has new nuances. There is a lot of new things to discover.
