Growing up, carrots were one of my favorite vegetables to eat—not the cooked carrots, but a regular raw carrot right out of the bag. I'd grab one, sit in front of the TV, watch my cartoons, and chew on the carrot. I wanted to be Bugs Bunny.
A little birdie also told me that carrots were really good for eyesight so as a kid, I made sure I ate at least 2 a day. I still don't need glassess...I'll give props to the carrots and that little birdie.
Growing up, while I wasn't eating all the carrots in the house, I would also get to enjoy this Jamaican Style Carrot Juice. It wasn't made too often in the house, but when it was made, it was a true treat.
Now, this isn't your typical carrot juice recipe. It's a bit thicker and sweetened with condensed milk and other spices. So, in other words, it ain't the healthiest drink on the block. But seriously, who cares? It's delicious, and it does have a vegetable in it.
