Carrot Ginger Smoothie

For when you are needing a healthy way to jump-start your day!

Inspired by a long Minnesota winter full of so many sicknesses and just wanting to feel good again!  Bring on the real food recipes!

Carrot Ginger Smoothie Ingredients

The base of this entire smoothie is carrots.  They are so vibrant and fibrous and healthy.  The key is though – you just have to splurge a bit and buy the “good” carrots.  Not the white ugly carrots that taste bitter and make you wish you hadn’t just crunched down on it.  You guys know – they are the ones that you just can’t put enough ranch on for fear you might get a taste of the gross bitterness that always stays behind and lingers just a bit too long……  you know.  Don’t buy those.  Buy the organic ones or at least the ones that actually still  have their leaves/stems on.  Please.  Otherwise you are going to be thinking I am a complete fool and that this recipe is absolute crap.  It isn’t, it’s amazing, but you have to buy the good stuff.

How to Make a Carrot Ginger Smoothie

Blend up your carrots with a bit of water to help make a carrot puree along with some fresh (note, again, the emphasis on FRESH) ginger.  Then add some organic canned peaches, cinnamon, vanilla soy yogurt, frozen banana, honey and flax meal.  Blend and serve immediately!   The combination of the sweet carrots, vanilla yogurt and honey paired with the bite of ginger and then hint of cinnamon – I don’t know it just melds together wonderfully.  It is the most unique smoothie I have ever had, but it is currently my favorite and I will be drinking it as often as possible this winter.

Oh, and I did serve this as part of dinner tonight – kid and husband approved.  My daughter didn’t believe there were carrots in it…..  For reals.  Vegetable serving for the day – check.
