Carrot rice

As it's name suggested, carrot rice is a combination of carrot juice and rice. Delicious and packed with nutritions, a bowl of carrot rice is what you want to serve for your cuties at home. Some add nuts or raisins in their carrot rice instead i opted to maintain the pure taste of carrot extract with a hint of spices. Try it and i'm sure you'll be satisfied of dishing out a healthy meal for your kids
