Q & A about Pineapple Ginger Carrot Juice

Q1: What are the health benefits of this juice?
A: It’s rich in vitamin A from carrots (great for eyes and skin), vitamin C from pineapple (boosts immunity), and ginger’s anti-inflammatory compounds help digestion and reduce bloating.

Q2: Can I make it without a blender or juicer?
A: Yes! Grate the carrots and ginger finely, mash pineapple, then squeeze through a muslin cloth with water. It’s more effort but works.
