Healthy, because
This freshly pressed vegetable cocktail provides more vital substances with every sip than many a large menu. So that the vitamins, which are only soluble in fat, are also absorbed by the body, a few drops of oil play the taxi for them. Vitamin A is one of these vitamins and its precursor (beta-carotene) is contained in large quantities in the carrots. It gives us beautiful skin and is needed for healthy vision.
Even smarter
Young cloves of garlic are particularly suitable for the wellness drink. They taste best and develop a lot of an active ingredient after pressing, which makes the blood flow more easily. For a slightly sweeter apple-carrot drink, you can also add a sweet apple to the juicer. By the way, it is also possible to mix the ingredients in a smoothie blender to make a delicious carrot smoothie, the advantage being that the satiating dietary fibre is retained.
