Carrot Pineapple Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped (or ½ cup of carrot juice if you prefer)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
- ½ banana (for extra creaminess and sweetness)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
- 1 cup orange juice (or water for a lighter version)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker, colder smoothie)
- A pinch of ground ginger (optional, for a little spice and extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Blend the ingredients: In a blender, add the chopped carrot, pineapple, banana, Greek yogurt, and orange juice (or water). If you’re adding honey or maple syrup, include that as well.
- Blend until smooth: Blend on high until everything is fully combined and smooth. If you want a thicker consistency, you can add a few ice cubes and blend again.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more honey, a splash more juice, or a few extra ice cubes if needed.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass, and garnish with a small slice of pineapple or a sprinkle of cinnamon or ginger if desired.
Enjoy this delicious, vitamin-packed smoothie as a refreshing start to your day or as a healthy treat!
