Apple Carrot Ginger Smoothie

in #food7 years ago


Smoothie time on my side of the world! Just made this orange power booster for breakfast! Carrots are probably best known for their rich supply of the antioxidant beta-carotene (precursor of vitamin A). However, carrots have so much more to offer than this skin and eye health boosting antioxidant. Next to beta-carotene, carrots are packed with dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B6, thiamin, Manganese, folate, potassium and Vitamin A, C, and K.

Combined with the nutritional powers of apples and ginger, this orange yummy, health-promoting drink is a great and delicious way to start your day.

Have a great day or for people on the other side of the world, nighty night ;-)

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 apples cored
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend all ingredients until smooth.
  2. Optional: Add superfoods/toppings - such as goji berries, chia seeds, or raw cacao nibs - if you like.

Recipe Notes

  • Use one or more frozen fruits to chill the smoothie.
  • If the smoothie is too thick for you, add more liquid base.

Happy blending!

Never think ginger will go with apple and carrot.
