ABC Smoothie 

ஆப்பிள், பீட்ரூட் & கேரட் பானம்

 Ingredients:
Green Apple ( கிரீன் ஆப்பிள் ) - 1
Carrot ( காரட் )  -  1
Beetroot ( பீட்ரூட் )  - 1/2  of a big size or one small
Lemon Juice ( optional ) - 1 tsp
எலுமிச்சை சாறு ( தேவையானால்)  - 1 தேக்கரண்டி



Steps:

Wash well and cut the apple, carrot and beetroot into small tiny bits.

Make a smoothie using a blender. Add water in small quantity. 

My Notes:

A college friend sent a text about ABC juice and its benefits. Then it sprang to my mind  that it is quite sometime since I have made this smoothie of  apple, beetroot and carrot. My elder son prefers the crunchy  green granny smith with the tart to the red apple and bites to enjoy the juicy crunchy fruit rather the drink . So I do not make his smoothie often. 

I am a big fan of this tangy sweet drink. So prepared this morning. Very refreshing. We both enjoy this while my second son prefer to eat one fruit at a time. No mixing of vegetables or any fruit ;))

I have not peeled the fruit as would prefer to have its benefits too. Then again it is individual choice.

Also some may use a juicer to extract the juice. But loaded with all its fibre content is more nutritious. 

While blending add both the root vegetables first without adding water. Blend on high first and then add the apple chunks. Together with apple can throw in a few ice cubes for a chill drink.

Sometimes the green apple is mildly sweet and so a spoon of lemon juice will give that  tangy taste to the smoothie and also beat the earthy taste of beetroot. 

A bright coloured drink to brighten up your day :)
