Tropical Pineapple Carrot Smoothie
Description
The Tropical Pineapple Carrot Smoothie combines plant-based milk with orange juice and sweet frozen pineapple and mango chunks, balancing tropical fruit flavors with fresh banana and raw carrots. Starting with liquid in the blender helps achieve smooth consistency when blending the fibrous carrots along with the fruit.
Blending until smooth produces a creamy, pourable beverage that mixes sweetness from fruit with the mild earthiness of carrots. The natural sugars from pineapple, mango, and banana provide flavor and body without added sugar, though sweetener can be added if desired.
This smoothie offers a bright, refreshing option for breakfast or a snack, with a mix of fruit and vegetable nutrition. Using a mix of fresh and frozen fruit keeps it thick and chilled. Rimming the glass with shredded coconut can add texture and complement the flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond-coconut milk unsweetened
- orange juice or 2-4 TBSP orange juice, juice of 1 orange
- 1 cup pineapple frozen
- ½ cup Mango frozen
- ½ banana fresh
- 2-3 carrot peeled and chopped
- sweeten as desired
Instructions
- Combine ingredients, starting with the liquid first, in your blender.
- Blend for several minutes until the fruit and carrots have blended into a creamy, dreamy, straw-worthy smoothie.
- Depending on preference and blender performance you may want/need to thin the smoothie with a little extra liquid. Adjust until desired thickness is reached.
Notes
- Rim glasses with unsweetened shredded coconut adhered by honey for added flavor and texture.
- Use a combination of fresh and frozen fruit to keep the smoothie thick and creamy.
- Almond milk or coconut milk can be used alone if preferred instead of the combined blend.
- Nutrition facts are estimates; adjust ingredient amounts and sweetener as desired.
