This is a great smoothie for those of you who need an extra pick-me-up! It's also a great replacement for coffee. Unlike coffee, which has a temporary stimulant (i.e., caffeine- to learn more about avoiding coffee and tea read this), acai has no caffeine, but has natural energy boosting components to  it. Not to mention the acai berry is a superfood! It's loaded with antioxidants! Try this smoothie, its like drinking a berry shake for breakfast!

Carrot-Aid Cocktail Juice

Carrot-Aid Cocktail Juice

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb organic carrots
• 1 organic lemon (peel cut off - leaving the white outer layer)
• 1 inch pc of ginger (optional)

Makes about 20 ozs 

 

Put it all in your juicer and juice!

 

As per the norm...No juicer? No problem! Blend in your Vitamix. Then strain through a nut milk bag or a paint strainer bag...and pour in your storage container. For detailed instructions on making juice in the blender click here.

 

I'm tellin ya right now, if you do not love all things tart, this is NOT the juice for you! It's light, refreshing, yet slightly tart. It's not over bearingly tart or hard to get down...but you do know what lemons taste like, right? So, uuum...yeah! It has the lemon flavor mixed in with the carrots, which gives it a great crisp sweetness, thats not too sweet and not too "carroty" <----yes that's a word, I know cause I just made it up! *smile*

 

I hope you enjoy this lil cocktail, as much as I did!
