Variations and add-ins!
Here are a few ways to take this carrot smoothie over the top! The first one, in particular, is a favorite:
- Ginger Carrot Smoothie. Add ½ teaspoon grated ginger to the mix! It adds a spicy brightness and pairs well with carrots. If you don’t have fresh, try ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger.
- Coconut Carrot Smoothie. Make it creamy by replacing half the orange juice with coconut milk.
- Carrot Mango Smoothie. Double the mango for more of a mango flair.
- Carrot Cake Smoothie. Add ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and ½ teaspoon vanilla for a carrot cake vibe. Top with chopped pecans or walnuts.
