Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the carrots if necessary.
- Roughly chop the carrots into smaller pieces to facilitate blending.
- Place the chopped carrots into your blender.
- Pulse a few times to break down the carrots before adding the other ingredients, especially if your blender is not very powerful.
- Peel the banana half and add it to the blender.
- Add the 1/2 scoop of whey protein powder.
- Add the 3 ice cubes.
- Start blending on a low speed and gradually increase to high, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, with no large chunks remaining.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a splash of water or milk (dairy or plant-based) and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.
- Enjoy your nutritious and delicious Banana Carrot Protein Smoothie as a refreshing breakfast option or post-workout treat!
Tips:
- Use a high-speed blender to ensure a smooth consistency, especially since carrots can be quite fibrous.
- You can chill the carrots beforehand or use frozen banana slices to make the smoothie extra cold and refreshing.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or a few dates.
- Add a splash of almond milk or another preferred liquid if the smoothie is too thick for your liking.
- Use organic ingredients whenever possible to maximize the health benefits of your smoothie.
