Tips & Tricks
Health and nutrition benefits
Carrots are among the vegetables highest in vitamin A, with one medium-sized carrot providing over 200% of the daily value for this nutrient. Vitamin A refers to a group of organic compounds, some of which are necessary for normal vision as well as skin health. Besides vitamin A, you’ll also get plenty of vitamin C, fiber, and free-radical fighting antioxidants from this drink. And if you have digestive issues or nausea, the added ginger in this drink can definitely help according to some studies.
No juicer?
If you don’t have a juicer and don’t plan on purchasing one, then you can blend all ingredients in a powerful blender on high speed. Squeeze the mixture through a cheese cloth to get as much juice as possible.
