Orange And Carrot Smoothie

Following the positive response I got for the Berry Banana Smoothie, I want to share more recipes that I prepare on a regular basis. This Carrot Orange Smoothie is one that I prepare to drink after an hour-long walk or a run. I have also had it after yoga sessions and the experience is always refreshing. I agree to be sent email.

I did a little bit of research into what really complements carrots to make it a post-workout smoothie and made some necessary changes!

About this smoothie

As far as fibers go, carrots offer that in a sizable quantity. What’s missing is some anti-inflammatory properties that help muscles rebuild. So that calls for Ginger and Turmeric! Both of these help in reducing muscle pain and speeding the recovery process after a workout. Turmeric seems to gather a whole lot of attention for the powerhouse of nutrition it offers. The goodness from turmeric can be a separate chapter in itself and I will let you do your own research on that… 🙂 As far as the taste goes, Carrots can be a little bland sometimes and need a tinge of tartness or sweetness. So, I added orange for every 2 carrots. Apart from that, add a cup of almond milk or raw almonds to bind all of them together for one powerful smoothie! Start your mornings with an intense or moderate workout followed by this carrot orange smoothie that can fuel you for a good 4 hours. Spring and Summer are the best seasons for bringing your fitness goals to reality and a low-calorie smoothie such as this Orange and carrot smoothie is one thing that will keep you motivated. For me personally, this smoothie has helped me outlast 60-minute yoga sessions and also stay energetic throughout the day.

How to make it sweeter

If you have a power blender like Blendtec, preparing this smoothie should be really simple. In case you do not have a power blender, then you may have to slice or dice the carrots before you put them in the blender.
