PINEAPPLE CARROT SMOOTHIE

You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.

1/2 cups pineapple chunks
1 cup soy milk, any flavor
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1/3 cups pineapple juice
1-1" piece ginger, peeled and minced
Honey to taste

Place all ingredients in blender container and blend until everything is smooth.

Add ice if you like it frosty. The ginger adds the "zip".

A mere half-cup serving of cooked carrots packs four times the RDA of vitamin A in the form of  beta-carotene. Beta-carotene may ward off cancers of the stomach, cervix, uterus, and the oral cavity, and it helps prevent heart disease due to its antioxidant abilities.

Recent research results from Harvard University suggest that people who eat more than five carrots a week are much less likely to suffer a stroke than those who eat only one carrot a month.

More on Carrots : Carrots fuel the body with carotenoids, natural anti-oxidants that calm cellular inflammation and dampen Lentin resistance, helping women shed p to 3 pounds each year, according to researchers at the University of Tennesse Health and Science Center in Memphis. For best absorption, carotenoid foods should be conumed with little healthy fat, such as virgin olive oil or walnut oil.

Carrots contain carnitine, a compound that increases stamina by transporting fat to the mitochondria and burning it for energy
