So, I've been on a huge beta-carotene kick recently. Ever since I read an article about the amazing benefits of carotenoids, I'm all over it. This nutrient is a powerhouse that will give your skin a glow, boost your immune system, and fill your body with antioxidants. So, long story short...I've been putting carrots in everything lately! Try this easy, 3-ingredient smoothie and you'll be doing the carrot dance right along with me.
