It’s the time of year when we should be enjoying the sun and with the sun comes one of my favourites – the smoothie. Today I want to share with you one I’ve been trying over the past month or so; it’s a carrot, apple, ginger and green smoothie.
This is a great smoothie if you are looking for a slightly spicy smoothie with powerful health benefits, try this carrot-ginger smoothie with greens and sweetened with apple! This immune-boosting green smoothie will help warm you up on a chilly summer evening!
Apples are full of fibre and will help you feel fuller longer! This smoothie contains 30% of your daily recommended value or fibre and if you are watching your weight there is less that 160 calories in it.
Nutrients in carrots have been shown to reduce the risk of heart attacks and may help regulate blood sugar levels. Carrots are famous for protecting vision, especially night vision.
Carrot Apple Ginger Green Smoothie Recipe
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 1 medium apple, cored
- 2 large handfuls of raw baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger root
- 4 to 6 ounces of filtered water
Add all the ingredients except for the greens to your blender and hit the “pulse” button a few times. Next, add the greens and blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.
Enjoy
