Therefore, this smoothie requires just few simple ingredients and one step of blending. It’s easy, simple, quick and nourishing as well.
Smoothies are my favorite go to breakfast and I love to experiment it with different ingredients. I usually find ways to add veggies in my smoothies but if its fruit loaded then it’s absolutely delicious. However, I sneaked in carrots in this smoothie to add some veggies and vitamin A into it.
I love the fact that smoothies are so easy to blend. It’s just a combination of few ingredients especially if you are cleaning up your refrigerator. Smoothies are a great way to use up leftover fruits and veggies.
It is easy to be creative with smoothies especially the presentation part. I love to garish it with different seeds and nuts to make it wholesome and look pretty at the same time. My family loves this Carrot Orange Spring Smoothie and most importantly my bloved kindergartner approved. It is always a pleasure to test my recipes on my little one. This way I get some new ideas to introduce healthy ingredients into the kid’s diet so mommies could be happier 🙂
