Carrot juice
The meeting of the earthy root vegetable and sunny citrus fruits. The sweetness of the carrot and the acidity of the orange complement each other. The beta-carotene in carrots (the precursor to Vitamin A) is fat-soluble, so it's worth adding a few drops of oil or consuming it with a meal for better absorption.

Instructions
1
✓
Wash the carrots thoroughly and trim the ends. Peel the oranges.
Tip: You don't have to peel the carrots if they are young and washed thoroughly; there are many vitamins in the skin.
2
✓
Feed the carrot, orange, and ginger alternately into the machine.
Tip: The hard carrot helps 'push' the fibres of the softer orange through the machine.

✓
Stir in the lemon juice and consume immediately.
Tip: The spiciness of the ginger (gingerol) counterbalances the earthy sweetness of the carrot.
