Agua de Zanahoria y Piña (Carrots and Pineapple Juice)

This is all that is left of a big jug of carrots and pineapple juice that I made.  

I love a nice, cold glass of Coke, but in trying to be healthy, I’ve started to make my own drinks.   I love this recipe from Vianney of Sweet Life.   When I first saw the ingredients of carrots and pineapple, I thought it was an unusual combination.   I was skeptical about the taste.  However, it turns out that they make a really nice mixture and taste refreshingly good.  My carrots and pineapple juice didn’t last long.   It almost disappeared faster than a blink of an eye.
