This morning I was flipping through my smoothie recipes and found one that was for carrot juice. It sounded kinda different, so I decided to try it. Surprisingly, it was really good! So good in fact, I decided to make a second batch, tweaked the recipe just a bit, and it was even better! Here is my version of the carrot apple smoothie:
CARROT APPLE SMOOTHIE
1 cup organic apple juice
1 1/2 cups baby carrots
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 cup ice cubes
Add ingredients to blender in order listed. Start on low and gradually increase to highest setting. Process for 1 minute. Refrigerate any extra juice and drink within 24 hours.
So why do you want to drink your carrots? Here are just a few of the healing properties:
