Cooling Carrot Cucumber Juice
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
Purple carrots, a staple in this juice, are a total new favorite of mine. And their best-kept secret? They’re yellow on the inside! Purple carrots contain an additional nutrient over regular carrots, which is anthocyanin that contains powerful anti-inflammatory properties. This juice is cool and refreshing thanks to the cucumber, so enjoy it on a warm spring or summer day. You can even have it as a great pre-workout snack or drink as the carrots are a source of the hydrating electrolyte, potassium, that is also super heart healthy.

- 1 pear
- 4 kale (Tuscan cabbage) leaves
