Carrot Apple Ginger Green Smoothie

This Carrot Apple Ginger Green Smoothie in the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and ،y flavors to s، your day right.

Green smoothies are all the rage in my kitchen. I know a lot of people worry, “Will I taste the spinach?” The answer? Nope! At least not with the proper ingredients and flavors. The key to any green smoothie is a balance of sweet and tangy flavors, and that’s exactly what you’ll achieve with my Carrot Apple Ginger Green Smoothie.

Ingredients:

• Banana: Naturally sweet and creamy, if you use a frozen banana you’ll need less ice.
• Apple: To help balance out some of the ،ness, I like to use a sweeter apple like a Fuji or gala, but you can use a green apple as well.
• Carrot: A little more on the sweet side when it comes to veggies, carrots are full of nutrients like ،،ium and vitamin C. Use baby carrots, or cut up some medium carrots.
• Protein powder: Packing in the protein will help to keep you feeling full until lunch. Use a plant based protein powder to keep this smoothie vegan and veget،.
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract adds just a bit of sweetness and flavor enhancer.
• Lemon juice: The bright, acidic flavor helps to balance out the smoothie.
• Spinach: While raw spinach can be slightly bitter, the greens are full of iron and other nutrients, and the taste gets overpowered by the other ingredients.
• Flax seed meal: Mostly flavorless, but adds lots of nutrients, especially omega-3 ،ty acids and fiber.
• Ginger: Raw, fresh ، is pungent, a bit ،y, and adds a real zing to the smoothie, while also being great for digestive health.
