Pears & Carrots: A New Favorite Juice Recipe
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
Nope, not peas and carrots, pears and carrots! This juice is delicious and has a wonderful tangy and licorice-like taste from the fennel bulb. I made this recipe up on the spot with the surplus of veggies and fruits I had in my kitchen. The important consideration for making your own juices when not following a recipe is to make sure that you follow roughly an 80% vegetable, 20% fruit ratio to ensure you don’t end up adding too much fruit and sugar. Enjoy your pears and carrots!
