Sunday vitamins in a glass…

Packed full of vitamins C & A, this juice has everything your healthy body needs to bypass this spring season! This time I did not add garlic, but if you are feeling a bit fluish, do not skip it as it is most effective!

The naturally sweet carrots add a bit of sugar to the juice but despite that it balances the flavours with the acidity making it easy on the palate. Carrots not only are full with antioxidants but contain vitamin A and carotene great for the immune system. Ginger, lime and lemon are a staple in my morning rituals, both super anti-inflammatory properties loaded with vitamin c that help boost your body’s pH levels. What a great way to start a sunday morning? I love juice shots, they just do wonders for the body, internally and externally. I love how it hydrates and shows positively on my skin!

ingredients

• 4 large carrots
•  Ginger for desired potency (I used about a large thumb size piece)
• 2 peeled lemons
• 1 peeled lime
• 3 cloves garlic (optional, fabulous for an immune booster)

Blend all ingredients together and divide into little glasses, drink immediately as a shot. Adding the garlic is a great immune booster because of its antiseptic and nutritive properties. The garlic taste is shadowed by the hot ginger and sweet carrots, leaving it a mild taste to the background. It really is a key ingredient if you feel a flu coming on.
