This recipe is a recipe that I make everyday. Whether I am at work, or just finished a workout, I love the flavor of this blend. I am not a big fan of the taste of carrots, but after doing my research on the benefits of carrot juice (blog on that coming soon) I decided to suck it up and just incorporate carrots with other fruits that I enjoy. Feel free to try your own blend of fruits. Just make sure the base of the blend is Carrots. Enjoy!
Carrot Juice Blend
Serving Size: 2
Ingredients:
2 medium carrots
1 granny smith apple (the tartness of the apple helps balance the flavor of the carrot)
1 medium/large california orange
1/2 banana
1/2 Haas Avocado (adding this will make the blend smooth and rich)
8-10oz of water (if it is too thick after blending, just add some more water until it is how you like it)
Instructions:
Chop all of the fruits and veggies and throw in a blender. Throw in the delicate fruit in first before the carrots, to help with the blending process. Blend for 60 seconds. Depending on the power of the blender you may need to go longer than 60 seconds. Pour into glass and enjoy!!
