Ingredients
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 orange, peeled
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 chopped carrots, 1 peeled orange, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 cup of almond milk.
- Wash the carrots thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the carrots if desired, although this is optional as the skin is nutritious.
- Chop the carrots into smaller pieces to make them easier to blend. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even blending.
- Peel the orange carefully, removing all the skin and pith. Cut it into segments to facilitate blending.
- Grate the ginger using a microplane or a fine grater. Measure out 1 tablespoon and set it aside.
- In a blender, combine the chopped carrots, orange segments, grated ginger, honey, and almond milk.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey according to your preference.
- Once blended to your liking, pour the smoothie into two glasses.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of grated ginger or a slice of orange on the rim of the glass for an appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Carrot Ginger Citrus Immune Boosting Smoothie!
