Apple Carrot Tomato Juice…and a WINNER!
Posted by Tiffany Griffin
What better way to say ‘I love you!’ than with juice! I heart carrot juice, but it’s super expensive. To my surprise though, a pound of carrots (which was $0.89 at Trader Joe’s) yielded over a cup of juice. Paired with apple and tomato, and I had enough juice for
