Sweet Watermelon, Carrot Juice
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
This juice is a variation of one of my favorites–apple, carrot and ginger–but instead of keeping it the same, I decided to shake it up! This juice includes seasonal and oh-so-delicious watermelon for a little sweet flavor instead of an apple. Watermelon is a rich source of nutrients like anti-cancer lycopene and magnesium. Magnesium is a heart-healthy nutrient that is also an electrolyte and can help to promote hydration. Magnesium is also a wonderful nutrient that can also help to promote muscle relaxation and restful sleep.
Use this juice to inspire you to try new and delicious (and nutritious) produce combinations!
