Carrot Tropical Smoothie

This smoothie looked interesting, so I decided to try it. At first, I was skeptical because it contained carrot juice, but it was delicious! It’s a wonderful way to get the fruits and veggies you need!

Side note: I took it to work one day. Some students asked me what was in it. When I said carrot juice, they all gave me a look of disgust. (They had thought it looked good until I told them about carrot juice.)

Stars of the recipe:

• 1/2 c. carrot juice, either juice it yourself or get a brand like Bolthouse Farms
• 1/2 c. orange juice
• 3/4 c. frozen mango
• 3/4 c. frozen pineapple
• Juice of 1/2 of a lime (Stick in the microwave for 10 seconds before juicing it. That maximizes the amount of juice you get.)
• If you want, you could add nonfat Greek yogurt for added protein. I haven’t tried it yet, but I bet it would be delicious.

Steps:

1. Put all of the ingredients in your blender.
2. Blend away until desired consistency. If need be, add water if it doesn’t blend.
3. Enjoy!
