This juice is a very bright and happy way to start your day! You might think that carrots and pears are a weird combination, but it’s actually really good and creamy!
I love making up juice recipes; I made this one up with the veggies and fruits I had left. The important thing to keep in mind when you invent your own juices is to make sure that you roughly have a 70% veggie – 30% fruit ratio so you don’t end up with a juice that contains too much sugar.
Ingredients
Pears, 2
Carrots, 3 large
Fennel, a medium bulb
Celery, 1/2 stalk
Orange, 1
Lemon, 1
Ginger, 2-3 cm
Instructions
Wash the fruits and veggies well (I use a brush for the carrots). Peel the lemon and the orange. Juice up!
