Carrot-Orange Juice

According to the instructions on WebMD, you don't even need a juicer for this recipe.

If you have a juicer, you'll process a yellow tomato, orange, apple and carrots.

If not, you'll throw the ingredients into a blender and also strain them.

Once they're together, add ice if you want, and enjoy!

3 medium carrots.

If you're not into beets, doctors say you can substitute blueberries and blackberries. You can also add potassium-rich ingredients like bananas.
