Since I read about the health benefits of the Ray Peat carrot salad, I have been making my carrots into a drink with adding pineapple juice, and sometimes an apple or a slice of cantaloupe and blending it all up. I still get all of the carrot fiber, and Ray Peat says it is supposed to be well chewed up anyway, so the blender probably does the best job of that.
This time, I ordered a fresh pineapple with my groceries, and cut it into chunks, using the center parts also. This will add more of the pineapple enzyme to my carrot drink and should make it even healthier.
The Walmart shoppers always just bring the smallest pineapple they see (at least it seems that way), and this one was still pretty hard and green, so it is a good thing that I am adding it to the blender before I have any of it, because I think it is pretty green to enjoy eating, but it was fine in my morning carrot drink. When we go to the store, I can pick out a nice ripe pineapple for next time.
