Carrot-Beetroot Juice

Carrot - Beetroot juice was introduced by my mom to my daughter, when she was an infant.
Surprisingly , she liked it she used to drink the entire cup.
But it was not too late before she turned into a picky
eater., and learnt her favourite word, "NO".... And I have not been able to give her this juice ever since.
If anyone is successful in fooling their child with this one, please let me know :)
I know this juice does not have the best taste, but it is very rich in calcium and vitamin C, so try to have it once in a while.

Ingredients :

  • Beetroot - 1 small
  • Carrots - 1 medium
  • Sugar - 1 tsp
  • Crushed Ice - for serving

Directions:

  • Peel and cut beetroots and carrot.
  • Juice them using a juicer. If you are using a blender or mixer then, blend them with little water till smooth.
  • Strain the juice using strainer or muslin cloth. You don't need to strain if you are using a juicer.
  • Add little sugar to it. ( Kids like it if you add sugar to it, otherwise sugar can be avoided )
  • Add some crushed ice in a glass and pour the juice over it. Serve chilled.

Variation : You can add pieces of apple along with beet and carrots.

A very healthy juice is ready in just a few minutes.
