Why carrot-apple juice suits fasting

Freshly made juices are a traditional part of the Buchinger day โ€“ usually at noon, diluted, in small amounts (all about drinking).

Carrots naturally contain beta-carotene, which your body can convert to vitamin A. The apple adds mild sweetness โ€“ together a harmonious, gentle juice.

What makes it special

  • mild and slightly sweet
  • natural beta-carotene
  • quick to make
  • ideal diluted at noon
