Carrot smoothie with milk is a delicious and nutritious drink that combines the natural sweetness of carrots with the creamy texture of milk. This smoothie is perfect for a refreshing breakfast or as a health-boosting snack. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and a touch of protein, it's an excellent way to kickstart your day.
Instructions:
- Thoroughly wash the carrots under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler if desired, though leaving the skin on is fine if they are organic and well-cleaned.
- Chop the carrots into smaller pieces to make them easier to blend.
- Place the chopped carrots into a blender.
- Add just enough water to help with blending (approximately 1/2 cup of water should suffice).
- Blend on high until the carrots are completely broken down and you have a smooth, thick carrot puree.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, pour the carrot puree into a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl.
- Use a spoon or spatula to press and extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the remaining pulp or save it for another recipe.
Note: If a higher fiber content is preferred, you can skip this step.
- Pour the fresh carrot juice (or the thick carrot puree if you skipped straining) back into the blender.
- Add the 3 tablespoons of milk (3.25% fat) to the blender.
- Blend on low for a few seconds until the milk is well-incorporated with the carrot juice, creating a creamy and smooth consistency.
- Pour the carrot milk smoothie into a glass.
- If desired, serve with a few ice cubes for a chilled version.
- Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutritional benefit.
Enjoy your homemade carrot smoothie with milk! This nutritious drink is an excellent way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet while savoring a delicious and creamy treat. Remember to experiment with additional flavors and ingredients to make it uniquely yours. Cheers to good health!
