Carrot & Ginger Iced Chai

A super refreshingly zingy chai spicy drink and a great way to get some of your 5 a day from juiced carrots and apples. Carrots are loaded with vitamin A, which helps with skin health, bone growth, immune support and vision, then the ginger can reduce inflammation and support a healthy gut.

So all in all, this is an amazing drink to give you a boost that helps to ward off colds for the autumn.
