Power-packed Carrot & Red Pepper Drink

By

Nothing quite kickstarts the mind and energizes the body on a summer day better than a chilled, delicious drink.

And if the drink is packed with the power of antioxidants, minerals and essential vitamins, you have an absolute winner.

I tried a carrot-red pepper slush at home, with wonderful results. Spiked with tomatoes, it not only filled me up but sent ripples of fresh energy coursing through my body. The reason was easy to identify: every single ingredient in the drink contains concentrated amounts of beta-carotene, Vitamins A and C, and important trace minerals that boost overall health.

It is a superb slush for every reason—good for you, low in calories, and quick to make. Do use preservative-free juice for best results.
