This wonderful drink is an elixir.It combines the wonders of nature in a glass of goodness.This is an energizer alright.Its made with 3 beautiful fruits of nature:
1.Apple
2.Carrot
3.Cucumber
Who can possibly turn down such a beautiful combination!!
For sweetener I used Natural honey.My building is close to mango,chickoo and guava orchards.So there were approximately 5 big hives of honey in our apartment building built by the bees in various locations.So I received a good amount of lovely amber honey.Once it was filtered it crystallized in 24 hours and had a lovely fruity taste.It blended with the drink very well!
You can add Honey,Stevia or Agave if you want or drink it as it is please do.Its a wonderful way to enjoy the fruits as they are!
