Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (peeled and chopped) carrots
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe (peeled and sliced) banana
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup (or as needed to adjust consistency) cold water
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into small pieces to ensure they blend smoothly.
In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped carrots, orange juice, frozen strawberries, sliced banana, honey, grated ginger, and ground cinnamon.
Add the cold water to the blender. Start with 1/2 cup and adjust later based on your desired consistency.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness, adding more honey if desired.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is completely crushed and the drink is chilled.
Pour the Carrot Blush smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately with a sprig of mint or a slice of orange for garnish, if desired.
