Tropical Carrot & Pineapple Smoothie

Tropical Carrot & Pineapple Smoothie

What You’ll Need:

1 large carrot, peeled and diced

½ cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)

½ banana (for natural creaminess)

½ cup Greek yogurt (adds creaminess and protein)

½ cup orange juice

½ cup water or coconut water (for hydration)

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)

How to Make It:

1. Prep Your Ingredients:
   Start by chopping the carrot into small pieces to help your blender work efficiently. If using fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks.
2. Blend Everything Together:
   Add the carrot, pineapple, banana, Greek yogurt, orange juice, and water into a blender. Toss in the honey or maple syrup if you like a sweeter smoothie. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. If you prefer it extra cold and thick, throw in a few ice cubes and blend again.
3. Adjust to Taste:
   Give your smoothie a taste. Need it sweeter? Add more honey or syrup. Too thick? Add a splash more juice or water until it reaches your desired texture.
4. Pour & Enjoy:
   Serve in a tall glass and enjoy this nutrient-packed, tropical treat!

Add a pinch of turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits

Mix in a handful of spinach for added greens

Swap water for a splash of coconut milk to make it even creamier
