Shakes & Smoothies: "Grapefruit-Carrot Shake"

Shakes are an easy and yummy way to consume lots of vitamins. Have them with your salad, or as a snack. Especially great in the summer!

People who are not too keen about pure veggie shakes will definetely love this one as the grapefruit gives it a sour and refreshing taste. And by the way, grapefruits provide lots of vitamins and help to lower cholesterin and prevent diabetes.

Ingredients for 1 shake
2 carrots
1 Grapefruit
3 oz. pure water (best: alkaline water)
3 ice cubes (best: also made with alkaline water)
optional: 2-3 mint leaves

Directions
This is a very simple recipe, which can be prepared in just a few minutes.

First, peel the grapefruit and following instructions for your model, push grapefruit through juicer, catching juice in cup as directed.

Then wash carrots, trim off the ends and also push through juicer.

Pour both juices into a tall glass, add the water and mix well.

Finally add the ice cubes and if you like - decorate with mint leaves.

Enjoy this alkaline shake, especially delicious for hot summer days!
