Instructions

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth (if you have a Blendtec, it works best to combine them in the order listed - liquids at the bottom, frozen at the top).

Notes

Adaptable: this recipe is very adaptable (just like a lot of other smoothie recipes) but I usually make it pretty close as written. Sometimes I'll sub out the carrot juice for a mango blend (I like the Bolthouse brand because they are organic and 100% juice and since I don't have a juicer, I stock up on them at Sam's Club where they are a bit more cost efficient). And other times I'll use an apple instead of a pear but otherwise it's pretty much the same makeup.
Lime: the lime is my favorite part - it adds such a wonderful refreshing flavor to the smoothie!
Ice: also, if you want the smoothie a bit more ice/thick, you can add a handful of ice cubes into the mix.
