Nice Taste
This is a really nice tasting recipe. I did not have any Agave nectar so I used maple syrup, you don't really taste the sweet though. I did have to add water to loosen things up, added a bit too much so it ended up a firmer slush consistency so I put it in the freezer and the pic shows what it looked it like after a half hour in the freezer, it is in between an ice and sorbet. It is still very good, you can really taste all three of the main ingredients of orange, carrot and ginger. As noted, you don't really taste the sweet, so if you really want a sweet taste I would recommend adding a bit of sugar to taste.

Who put the ingredients together?
With just ice, the machine would not churn up the ingredients, second time using the machine, will not make this again.
