Healthy, because
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. This fat-soluble vitamin is important for healthy eyes and beautiful skin. The olive oil contained in the apple-carrot juice with ginger can be optimally utilised by the body. In addition olive oil supplies valuable unsaturated fatty acids.
Even smarter
If the olive oil taste is too dominant for you, you can also replace it with another high-quality vegetable oil. Linseed oil and rapeseed oil are also suitable.
