Do you ever find you have too many carrots sitting in the fridge? Do you buy a big kilogram bag because it was 10p more than the smaller bag?!
I’ve been eating carrots as a snack with hummus, in salads, and on their own and still have loads in the fridge. This smoothie/juice is a great way of using some up and adding some variation to breakfast. I say juice, because the carrot breaks down so small, with enough water is thinner than a smoothie, but still has a bit of texture. Its raw and vegan, plus its super healthy start to the day!
Ingredients:
3 Medium carrots
1 Inch chunk of ginger
2 Oranges
300 mls water
5 Ice cubes
Add all of the ingredients into a blender, in the order listed, I use a Vitamix Aspire, blend for 1 minute on high or until it reaches a smooth consistency, depending on your blender. You should then have a carrot juice, which tastes strongly of orange and after kick of ginger. Great way of disguising carrots into a drink for fussy eaters 😉
Fun Fact:
The actual plant of a carrot (greens above ground) can grow up to 1 m (3.2 ft) tall and flowers around June to August (northern hemisphere summer) with a bright white flower. – Science Kidz
Warning this smoothie does NOT contain bananas, I just thought the face was fun!
