Carrot Ginger Detox Smoothie Recipe

by

🥕 The Ultimate Glow-Up Smoothie

This blend is packed with beta-carotene, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties to support your digestion and brighten your skin.

Ingredients

  • Carrots: 2 large carrots (peeled and chopped) or 1 cup pure carrot juice.

  • Ginger: 1-inch knob of fresh ginger (peeled and sliced).

  • Fruit Base: 1 frozen banana or 1 cup frozen mango chunks for creaminess.

  • Liquid: 1 cup unsweetened coconut water or almond milk.

  • Citrus: 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice to brighten the flavors.

  • Optional Boost: A pinch of turmeric or a teaspoon of hemp seeds.

Instructions

  1. Prep the Carrots: If you have a high-speed blender, you can toss the raw chopped carrots straight in. If your blender is less powerful, steam the carrots for 5 minutes and let them cool first to ensure a silky texture.

  2. Layer the Blender: Add your liquid base first to help the blades move freely. Follow with the ginger, carrots, and frozen fruit.

  3. Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 60 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth and vibrant orange.

  4. Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water. If you prefer it sweeter, add a single pitted date.

  5. Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with a carrot slice or a sprig of mint, just like in the photo!

Pro Tip: Adding a tiny drop of healthy fat, like flax oil or a slice of avocado, helps your body better absorb the fat-soluble Vitamin A found in the carrots!

Enjoy your refreshing, nutrient-dense boost! Do you prefer your smoothies more on the fruity side or the spicy side?
