Ingredients
  

  • 1 peeled orange
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1 inch piece fresh turmeric, peeled
  • 1 date
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1 crack black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons bee pollen
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 3/4 cup frozen mango
  • 1 cup milk (cow, almond, rice, etc)

Equipment

  • Peeler
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing your ingredients. Peel the orange and make sure it’s free from any seeds. You can either segment it or just cut it into smaller pieces. This helps the blender process it better.
  2. Next, take your carrot and wash it thoroughly. There’s no need to peel it, but if you prefer a smoother texture, feel free to do so. Cut it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
  3. Peel the ginger and turmeric. Use a spoon to scrape the skin off if you don’t have a peeler. Slice them into thin pieces to maximize their flavors in the smoothie.
  4. Now, gather all your ingredients and place them in a blender. Add the frozen mango, dates, and coconut oil next. The frozen mango will help chill the smoothie.
  5. Pour in the milk of your choice. Whether you prefer cow’s milk, almond milk, or coconut milk, it all works beautifully in this recipe.
  6. Sprinkle in a pinch of black pepper and add bee pollen and hemp seeds for that extra nutrition boost. Each adds its own unique flavor and texture to the smoothie.
  7. Now it’s time to blend! Start the blender on a low setting and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 30 to 60 seconds.
  8. Once blended, check the consistency. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired thickness.
  9. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. You can use a straw if you like; it makes it feel even more like a treat!
  10. Enjoy your Carrot Orange Ginger Smoothie immediately for the freshest taste. You can also store it in the fridge for a short time, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but for the best taste, consume it fresh.
  • Freezing: You can freeze any leftover smoothie in ice cube trays and blend them into future smoothies for a quick and easy addition.
