Carrot and ginger smoothie
Ingredients
Step by step process
Prep the ingredients
- 1
For this smoothie, first wash the carrots, peel them, and slice them into thin rounds so the blender has an easier job.
- 2
Peel the oranges, separate them into segments, and remove the white pith and seeds. Peel the banana and break it into pieces.
- 3
Cut a roughly fifteen-gram piece from the ginger root, peel it, and grate it finely or slice it into thin pieces.
TIP:Peel ginger using the edge of a spoon instead of a knife, it’s a safer and gentler way to remove the thin skin without losing any flesh. This method also works for other delicate roots.
Blend and serve
- 4
Put the carrots, orange, banana, and ginger into the blender. Add a pinch of turmeric and pour in the chilled coconut water.
- 5
Blend on high speed for two to three minutes, until you get a completely smooth and deep orange drink with no chunks.
TIP:For a creamy smoothie texture, replace part of the water with plant-based milk (almond or oat milk) and blend until smooth. Add the liquid gradually until you reach the desired thickness.
- 6
Season with a tablespoon of lemon juice, blend briefly, and pour into chilled glasses. Serve right away, while the drink is fresh and full of vitamins.
More tips:
If you like your smoothie really cold, drop a few ice cubes into the blender or use a frozen banana.
Add the ginger gradually and keep tasting as you go. Its sharpness develops quickly in the drink, and less is sometimes more.
