Carrot Greens Smoothie
Servings: 1
We are lovers of all things leafy green— even carrot tops! This extremely creamy Carrot Greens Smoothie wastes nothing by using the entire carrot, leafy top and all. A lovely, sweet smoothie with mango, pineapple, banana and carrot tastes more like dessert yet is loaded with leafy greens.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup spinach
- 1 carrot include leafy tops
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup pineapple frozen
- ½ cup mango frozen
- ½ banana
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Blend spinach, carrot top leaves and water until smooth.

Notes
- You can grate your carrots with a cheese grater, or steam them to soften them before blending if you aren't using a high-speed blender.
- Use at least one frozen fruit to make the smoothie cold.
- Feel free to swap the carrot tops with the leafy greens of your choice.
- Swap water with coconut water, green tea or any dairy-free milk.
