🥕 Ingredients

  • 1 cup Carrots (peeled and chopped)

  • 1 cup Frozen Strawberries (plus fresh slices for garnish)

  • 1/2 Ripe Avocado (for that signature creamy texture)

  • 1 cup Orange Juice or Unsweetened Almond Milk

  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt (optional, for extra protein)

  • 1 tsp Fresh Ginger (grated, for a little zing)

  • 1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)

  • Ice cubes (if using fresh fruit instead of frozen)

🥤 Instructions

1. Prep the Carrots

If you don’t have a high-speed blender, steam your chopped carrots for about 5 minutes until slightly soft, then let them cool. This ensures your smoothie is perfectly smooth rather than grainy. If you have a powerful blender, raw carrots work great!

2. Layer the Blender

Add your liquid base (juice or milk) first. This helps the blades move freely. Follow with the avocado, carrots, strawberries, and ginger. Adding the frozen items last helps push the other ingredients down into the blades.

3. Blend Until Silky

Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds. Because of the avocado and carrot fiber, you want to make sure every bit is fully emulsified into a velvety consistency.

4. Adjust and Serve

Taste a small spoonful. If it’s too thick, add a splash more liquid. If you want it sweeter, add your natural sweetener of choice. Pour into a tall glass, add a reusable straw, and top with a fresh strawberry slice and a sprig of mint for that “picture-perfect” look.

Pro Tip: The avocado provides healthy monounsaturated fats which actually help your body absorb the Vitamin A (beta-carotene) found in the carrots!
