Carrot Banana Smoothie

Fuel your mornings with a refreshing and energizing Carrot Banana Smoothie. Packed with antioxidants, this delicious blend of carrots, banana, and apple juice provides a healthy boost of nutrients and vitamins. Perfect for weight loss goals or as a quick, time-saving meal on the go.

It’s completely ok for you to be a little intrigued about the thought of carrots in a smoothie. I know I was.

But then I realized carrots are amazing in carrot cake, so they must be amazing in a smoothie. And I was 100% right. You cannot go wrong with making this smoothie. It is a little on the sweet side, so much so you could probably call it a carrot milkshake.

Sweet enough you could drink it for dessert and be satisfied or in the middle of the day for those afternoon cravings.

 

Ingredient notes and substitutions

A few notes on the ingredients:

  • Banana– Make sure you use a frozen banana. This is what makes the smoothie creamy and cold. I always keep a gallon freezer bag stashed in the freezer from when the bananas are getting a little to brown to eat. I would go with a ripe banana for best flavor.
  • Date– Dates are found in the produce section of your store most likely. In the U.S. you finally mostly dried dates and that is perfect. Be sure to remove the pit if you didn’t buy pitted dates. If you do not want a super sweet smoothie leave the date out or cut in half. See expert tips on how to use.
  • Carrot- You don’t have to worry about peeling the carrot unless you want to.
  • Milk– You can use any unsweetened, plain non dairy milk you would like. I used coconut milk from the carton not the can.
