Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup (75g) frozen banana slices
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 2 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Chop the carrots into smaller pieces. Measure out all remaining ingredients.
  2. Add all ingredients (carrots, banana, almond milk/coconut milk, yogurt (if using), orange juice, spices, maple syrup/honey (if using), and ice cubes (if using)) to a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend on high speed until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
  4. Taste the smoothie and add more maple syrup/honey if desired for sweetness, or a splash more almond milk for a thinner consistency.
  5. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, or a dusting of cinnamon, if desired. Serve immediately.
