Ingredients
- ¾ cup carrots chopped (2 medium carrots or 1 large)
- 1 banana frozen or fresh
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- ½ tablespoon fresh ginger peeled, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.¾ cup carrots, 1 banana, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ tablespoon fresh ginger, ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Blend until smooth.
Notes
- For the smoothest texture, chop the carrots into small pieces before blending, especially if you’re using a regular blender.
- Use a frozen banana for a thicker, colder smoothie without adding ice.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before serving, as the chia seeds may continue to thicken the texture.
