This is a recipe that can be put together within minutes, but what if you can’t get your pre-teen to down it? Don’t fret, here’s a quick fix. Involve him in the preparation process – the fact that he has made the smoothie is enough encouragement for him to gulp it down. Is there even a need to mention the health benefits of carrot and apple combined?

2 large carrots, washed and peeled
1/2 lemon, peeled
few leafs such as red lettuce or carrot greens

Step 1

Throw in all the ingredients in the juicer. Run it for 1-2 minutes. Drink immediately. Strain the juice if you want a smooth smoothie; however it is not recommended, since straining eliminates the fiber content completely.
