Carrot Juice and Cake






















Carrot Cake with sweet cream cheese, a bite! You will know why it never goes out of your mouth. Juicing my carrot using my newly bought Slow Juicer, the carrot juice is delicious and nutritious.

One of the benefits of drinking carrot juice is the reduced risk of heart disease. Using the convention juicer, a lot of fibre will be stripped away in the juicing process, whereas, this slow juicer won't.

After drinking the delicious carrot juice, the grated carrot could be used to make carrot cake. Here it is the recipe by Ray;

10 servings:-

1. Plain Flour                       140g
2. Bio Protein                      30g (eCosway)
