Carrot Cooler | Carrot Orange Juice | Healthy fruit & veg drink recipe

Since childhood I have always been this good child who will eat vegetables and fruits, I would never complain about food as such. I did have disliked to certain veggies like bitter gourd and drumstick but not anymore. Carrot juice is something that mom used to make for me often, using raw carrots. Today I wanted to share a cooked version of carrot juice with a combination of orange which makes a great tasting drink, you can even serve this as a welcome drink and keep your guests guessing what it is ;-). So I tried this drink and it turned to be too good and served it to everyone at home and no one could actually guess what the drink was :-) I was super happy. This drink is a great way to start your day, absolutely tasty and guilt free indeed. A must try if you are beauty conscious person as carrots are known to improve skin complexion and oranges for clearness of skin.

Cooks Wisdom

- You can add cardamom powder / ginger to give little more lift to the drink but I did not add them

- Make sure carrots are partially cooked so that they have their goodness intact

- The pressure cooker carrots leave a stock use them up for making chappati dough or to add in soups/ curry

- You could also fizz the drink by adding drinking soda to it ;-)
