Orange Mango Carrot Smoothie
Report
The Greek Yogurt and/or Protein Powder are optional ingredients. The yogurt makes the smoothie a little creamier while I enjoy adding protein powder when I need an afternoon pick me up (I tend to feel sluggish in the afternoon) or a post-exercise snack.

Ingredients
- 2/3 cup carrot juice
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla (optional, according to tastes)
- 1 large orange peeled and sectioned
- 1 1/2 cup Mango frozen chunks
- 1 cup strawberry frozen
- 2 drops Lime Essential Oil or a bit of fresh lime zest, 100% pure
- 1/2 - 1 coop protein powder optional, vanilla
Instructions
- Combine the carrot juice, yogurt (if desired), orange, mango chunks, strawberries, and lime essential oil or zest in the blender. Place the lid on and puree (use the "smoothie setting" if your blender has one) until smooth and desired consistency is reached. Add the protein powder (if using) and blend just until combined.
- Serve immediately, or portion into freezer safe canning jars and store in the freezer for later use.
Notes
- If you have a high-powered blender, such as a Blendtec, you can make homemade carrot juice by combining 2/3 cup of chopped raw carrots and 2/3 cup of water in the blender and processing on the juice setting. I prefer this option because the carrot juice is 100% whole carrot with all the nutritional benefits of a raw carrot. Another alternative is to prepare steamed carrots and puree them if your blender cannot handle pureeing raw carrots, but this option does take extra time.
