Ginger carrot smoothie

Last update - Saturday, June 1, 2013, 10:22 By Meredith Hicks

Carrots, rich with beta carotene, are also a fantastic source of vitamins C, B6 and E, as well as needed minerals for the body like iron and magnesium. If you’re not too keen on crunching on carrot sticks as a snack, then make a rich and delicious smoothie, and add your favourite fruits to make a healthy and filing lunch or snack in between!

Ingredients:

3 or 4 carrots

Small piece of root ginger

1 Granny Smith apple

1 pear or any other kind of fruit

Juice of half a lemon

1 mango

1/2 cup ice cubes (or frozen apple juice)

 

Clean, peel and or scrub the carrots and cut them into cubes.

Peel the skin off of ginger and mango and cut them and the apple into cubes as well.

Put all the fruit, and other ingredients into a blender that can crush ice until thoroughly mixed.

To add a creamier taste, feel free to add some milk or soya milk.

Or for a more tropical flavour, add fresh pineapple and dragon fruit.
