Why carrots?
-improved vision
-anti-aging
The high level of beta-carotene acts as an antioxidant to cell damage done to the body through regular metabolism. It help slows down the aging of cells.
-healthy glowing skin
Vitamin A prevents premature wrinkling, acne, dry skin, pigmentation, blemishes, and uneven skin tone.
-prevents heart disease
Studies show that diets high in carotenoids are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
-prevents stroke
A Harvard University study showed that people who ate more than six carrots a week are less likely to suffer a stroke than those who ate only one carrot a month or less.
Did you know? There are more than 100 different species of carrot.

Please indulge this question if it's silly, but do you peel carrots, ginger, or beets before juicing them?
ReplyDeleteI personally do not peel the carrots but I do peel the ginger and the beets. My husband will juice an entire beet, skin on, but it's too earthy of a taste for me. And I know some people who just throw a chunk of ginger straight in the juicer, but I found using a spoon to peel the ginger works great!
DeleteThanks for your questions!
Thanks for the response! I spent part of today cleaning out my fridge to make room for all of the fruits and veggies that I bought. Starting tomorrow and can't wait to try out all of these recipes that I'm coming across. So many options! Thanks for sharing your journey!
ReplyDeleteOh! I forgot to tell you earlier, I also cut off the very tops of the carrots. I've noticed the tops get kind of mushy and nasty looking and if I wouldn't eat the piece of fruit/veggie due to the condition it is in, my rule is to not juice it.
DeleteMy other advice would be to start off small with beets and ginger. When starting out, I didn't really like the taste of ginger....but then after about a week, I grew to love it!! Now I use at least double the amount in my recipes than I used before.
And limes, limes, limes! They cut through the bitterness of leafy greens. I love to juice them with the peels ON.

I tried this recipe - doubled - and only got like 8 oz of juice....just how big are your carrots and orange?
ReplyDeleteMy oranges are fairly big and if I remember correctly, the carrots were pretty large compared to the carrots I've been buying lately.
DeleteIf you aren't getting enough juice, just keep adding carrots and oranges and more lime. Maybe throw in 1-2 sticks of celery?
I'm sorry this didn't yield as much for you.
Did you enjoy it?
