Spicy Carrot Juice
The refreshing carrot juice is a great alternative to alcoholic aperitifs, and is packed with nutrients including vitamin A.
Vitamin A is one of the fat-soluble vitamins: the body can only absorb the vitamin properly if it has fat available at the same time. Therefore, you should never replace milk, which is low in fat anyway, with non-fat milk. On the contrary: if you don't have any calorie concerns, add a few drops of high-quality olive oil to the carrot juice!
