Carrot and Orange Smoothie
Bare with me, this one sounds a bit different, and i’l give you that, its not your usual breakfast smoothie. But it is a deliciously, refreshing recipe with a bit of a kick. I was a bit dubious to try this one, but since I did its become a firm favourite, It’s a great low calorie pick me up which I find gives me a bit of an energy boost to get me through an afternoon slump, rather than reaching for the coffee, which by 11pm and still wide awake I always regret!
Ingredients:
2 carrots
2 oranges
2cm of ginger
1 cup ice
How to make:
Peel carrots and chop or grate (this will depend on the power of your blender)
Peel oranges and segment
Grate or roughly chop ginger
Add all the ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth.
If it seems too thick add some water or fruit juice a little at a time to desired consistency
Optional extras:
Honey: If its a bit too plain for you or the ginger is a bit spicy a splash of honey will sweeten it up a bit.
