Equipment

high speed blender

Ingredients

¾ cup carrots peeled, chopped (2 medium carrots or 1 large)
1 ripe, frozen banana peeled
1 cup almond milk unsweetened (or use your favorite plant-based milk)
½ tablespoon fresh ginger peeled, chopped, about ¾ inch (2 cm) ginger slice
¼ teaspoons ground turmeric
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

Toss all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust your smoothie! Add more banana, a touch of maple syrup, or 1-2 dates for sweetness. Add a splash of milk to thin it out. Enjoy!

Notes

Enjoy your smoothie right away for the freshest flavor and maximum nutrient content. If you have any leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
Use ripe, frozen bananas. Use a ripe frozen banana for natural sweetness and a creamy texture. The frozen banana also helps keep your smoothie nice and cold.
Peel carrots. While carrot skin is edible and nutritious, it can sometimes have a slightly bitter taste. For a smoother and sweeter smoothie experience, I recommend peeling your carrots before blending.
Adjust texture. If your smoothie feels too thick, add a splash of more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Make a carrot smoothie bowl. Want to turn this into a delicious smoothie bowl? Simply blend everything as instructed, then pour it into a bowl. Top it off with your favorite granola, chopped nuts, seeds, or even a drizzle of peanut butter for extra flavor and texture!
