Carrot Juice Morning!

Last weekend was my birthday, and we went to an Asian-style spa for the day. It was a great experience, one I had missed since returning from Japan! In the cafeteria they served lots of traditional food, and some delicious cleansing, refreshing juice combinations. The carrot juice was so good I decided to try to make it at home this morning. It's has an interesting flavor, and is packed with awesome nutrients like vitamins B and E, and tons of beta carotene (which turns to Vitamin A in the body) and helps to eliminate cancer-causing free radicals... Worth a try for sure!

Serves: 1

Total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

4 carrots
1 apple
1.5 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1) Put carrots and apple the blender and blend on high until they liquefy. At first I repeatedly had to push them down since they kept creeping away from the blades, but eventually the mixture settled in the bottom and blended thoroughly.

2) Place a strainer over a bowl and pour juice mixture into strainer. (It will be quite thick and creamy!) Gently shake strainer so that juice continues to flow into the bowl. I strained mine twice to make it extra smooth, and saved the thick residue for smoothies later this week.

3) Pour the juice over ice and stir in the vinegar. I know the vinegar seems like an unlikely addition, but it's actually really tasty! Enjoy!
