Good to know
Chop the carrot into thin coins rather than large chunks so the smoothie blends quickly and evenly.
Questions, answered.
Do I need to cook the carrot?
No, a small fresh carrot blends well in a high-speed blender. Steam it first if your blender struggles with hard vegetables.
Can I use orange juice?
Yes, replace the orange with ½ cup orange juice, though the whole orange gives more texture and fiber.
