Everybody loves smoothies/juices. But most people pay more for their favorite smoothie and buy it from juice bars. I always prefer home made smoothies. They are cheaper, healthier, more hygienic and very easy to make according to our preferences. Today I thought to share a carrot & Orange smoothie recipe with you all. This is one of the most favorite smoothies of my husband :). You do not need to have any special equipment to prepare this. You can use a normal blender/grinder to make this delicious smoothie to chill you during hot summer.
Prep Time: 5 min Cook Time: N/A Total Time: 5 min Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
- 1 orange
- 1 medium size carrot
- 4 ice cubes
- 2 teaspoon honey/sugar
- Required amount of water
DIRECTIONS
- Peel off the skin of the orange. Remove seeds, if there any.
- Cut the carrot into pieces.
- Place all the ingredients into your blender. Add required amount of water to get your desired consistency (I added 1/4 cup) and blended it. If you are not sure, you can add water little by little during the blending process.
NOTES
- You can add extra ice cubes, when you serve.
- You can even add some ice cream into it.
- Adjust the sugar/honey according to the sweetness of orange (Honey is the healthier option).
- During winter I use to make this without adding ice cubes.
Nutrition fact: Carrots are best known for their richness of beta-carotene (antioxidant) and Vitamin A. Lack of vitamin A can cause poor vision this can be prevented by adding vitamin A to your daily diet. Carrots also have more health benefits including cancer prevention, anti-aging, prevent heard diseases and for healthy skin. Orange is a good source of Vitamin C and fibers.
