Carrot Citrus Juice
I am an AVID juicer. I love making fresh squeezed, fresh pressed juices at home without the added sugar that store-bought versions have. From cold-pressed green juices, fresh squeezed fruit juices, to root juices, I really love them all. While I don't juice as a substitute for eating vegetables and fruits, I think they are a great way to get additional vitamins and minerals that we may not always be able to eat on a daily basis. I'm excited to share all my go-to juice recipes on Annchovie. The first one is the Carrot Citrus Juice, which I drink several times a week.
