Benefits:

Apples are rich in nutrients such as carbohydrates, malic acid and fibre. They help beautify complexion, lowering one's cholesterol and reduce high blood pressure.

The high amount of beta carotene found in carrots is known to prevent cancer. Also, as beta carotene gets converted to vitamin A in the body, it helps to improve eyesight and reduce hair loss.

The combination of those two fruits mixed as juice serves as a great thirst quencher as well.

Tips:

Remember to blend and serve quickly as once the apples are cut, the apple pieces will start to oxidize and may spoil the taste of the juice if left by itself for a longer period

When choosing carrots, choose thick carrots with a smooth bright orange surface. Avoid those with dark patches or cracks. Avoid carrots that appear to be worm eaten too.

For apples, choose those with a bright red colour and a glossy feel. The feeling of the apple should be smooth as well.
