What You Will Need
- freshly peeled carrot – make sure you find the best carrot you can, out of the garden, from the farmers market, or at your local grocery store.
- water – helps to thin out the texture so that you can actually drink it!
- ginger root – this really adds some great flavor and is great for the immune system.
- frozen banana – always our favorite way to add some thickness to the consistency.
- vanilla yogurt – option to use dairy-free yogurt, Greek yogurt, or just regular vanilla yogurt!
- honey – a little bit for a touch of sweetness.
- ground cinnamon – just a sprinkling for flavor!
- canned peaches – great for adding a bit more sweetness and flavor to round out the strong carrot flavors.
- ground flax – one of our favorite additions for some added fiber and nutrition.
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 the canned peaches, cinnamon, vanilla yogurt, frozen banana, honey, and flax meal. Blend and serve immediately!
