Vegetable Juice Recipes for healthy life..

Carrot Juice Here's my favorite carrot juice recipe. I make this juice almost every morning. Very quick and easy: Ingredients 1 lbs large carrots (washed and peeled) 1/2 lemon (peeled) few green leafs such as red lettuce or carrot greens 1 apple Directions Put all ingredients in your  juicer . (A centrifuge juicer is easiest for carrots.) Mix. Drink immediately. I peel the carrot for taste (otherwise it tastes too earthy). I find this recipe sweet enough, but if you're a beginner juicer or have a sweet tooth, add an apple for extra sweetness. The health benefits of carrot juice? It provides Vitamin A, B Vitamins, Vitamin E and many minerals (including calcium). Great for pregnant and nursing mothers, eyesight, bones and teeth, liver and nails, skin and hair as well as helping in breast and skin cancer prevention.
