Servings : 2 serves
Ingredients
- 1 carrot, washed, peeled, and chopped into about 5 pieces
- 1 banana, peeled and chopped
- 1 whole clementine, peeled, segmented
- 1 inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 6 to 8 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup ice
- sweetener, optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high powered blender in order listed (sweetener is optional); process until completely blended.
- Taste for sweetness and adjust accordingly.
Notes
- If using a sweetener, I recommend using honey because honey’s antioxidant and antibacterial properties help improve the digestive system and boost immunity. If using honey, blend it with the rest of the ingredients.
- If you’re looking for a thicker smoothie, blend in more ice to make it thicker.
