I can remember when I was young, my mother used to chase me around the house with a glass of freshly juiced carrot juice. I would scream bloody murder, scrunch up my face, hold my nose and act like it was the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted in my life. And to me, at that point, it was. Oh, to be a kid again!!

As I get older, I realize the benefits of carrot juice and now I juice for myself, adding a twist to it now and then. A very easy combination that you can try is Carrot Juice and Almond Milk (using unsweetened Almond Milk). This is a great shake that you can use in the morning with your breakfast or in the evening after a long day. It is very easy to prepare and tastes fantastic. The list of benefits includes promoting heart health, improving skin, helping in bone health and development and so much more.

The directions are very easy to follow:

Step One: Wash and clean carrot.

Step Two: Put them through a juicer to extract the juice.

Step Three: Pour Almond Milk into a glass.

Step Four: Add an equal amount of Carrot Juice (this amount can vary depending on your preference).

Step Five: Mix and enjoy.

Tip for today:

Back in the day eggs came in two varieties, brown or white; and from there the only other option of consideration was size. Today we have to choose between omega-3 fortified, cage free, free range and the list goes on and on. This can sometimes prove distracting when the main element in question should be cholesterol. Eggs carry more cholesterol than any other food and that is mainly stored in the yolk.  An average daily intake of cholesterol should be 300 milligrams per day, and that includes cholesterol from  other sources like dairy products, cakes, meat and so on. A large egg contains about 215 milligrams of cholesterol. So if you're aiming for a healthy heart and healthy arteries be aware of the amount of whole eggs that you are consuming daily and/or weekly.
