I feel like we are already in the middle of  summer in the North-East.  With this hot and steamy weather, every one is looking for some thing to cool off.  I love juice.  But when I look at the nutritional values in the label of  juice drinks or  smoothies they are all loaded with lots of sugar.  So I decided to make my own juice this summer.  This morning I made this Carrot Ginger juice.  with the sweetness of the veggies and fruits, ginger gives a nice spicy flavor to this juice.  Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3 medium carrots
• 1 tart apple (like granny smith)
• 1 large orange
• 1/4 teaspoon lime juice
• 1/2 inch piece of ginger

Method:

• Peel and wash carrots
• Wash apple and slice them (no need to peel the skin since it gives the tart taste)
• Peel the orange and break into quarters
• Peel and wash the ginger and chop them into rough pieces
• First add carrots to juicer
• Now add ginger and then the rest of the fruits (in this way, you will be getting all the ginger extract  into your juice)
• Transfer to a bowl and lime juice (I like lime juice compared to lemon juice since lime juice has a strong taste and better flavor)
• Transfer to juice glasses and add ice if needed.
