Carrot, Apple & Orange Smoothie: photo of the finished dish.

Here's a simple, refreshing smoothie recipe loaded with a small portion of vitamins. It contains the most common products: carrots, green apple, and orange. They perfectly harmonize and together create a bright, rich flavor. And the base in the form of freshly squeezed orange juice makes the drink more nourishing and refreshing (especially if you add ice).

Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

  1. Wash the carrot, apple and orange. Peel them (and remove the core from the apple) and cut them into small pieces. It is better to slice the orange with your hands as cutting it will drain the juice (and we need that in the smoothie).

  2. Place sliced carrot, apple and orange in blender jug. Add orange juice. If desired, add ice and honey (for extra sweetness).

    Blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more juice or water.

What are the Benefits of This Smoothie?

Carrots are a great source of beta-carotene. It's used to make vitamin A, which supports healthy skin, vision, and the immune system. Carrots also contain antioxidants and vitamins K and B6 (in small amounts), which promote bone and nervous system health.

Apples are a good source of dietary fiber (fiber), which helps control blood sugar levels and keep the digestive system healthy. They are also a great source of vitamin C and potassium.

Oranges are a good source of vitamin C, which helps the immune system and fights infections. They also contain potassium, which is important for maintaining normal blood pressure, and folic acid, which is essential for healthy body cells and tissues.

Tips for Making a Smoothie with Carrot, Apple and Orange

  1. Use fresh ingredients for maximum benefits and flavor. It is best to use freshly squeezed juice with pulp rather than packaged juice.
  2. If you prefer thicker smoothies, add less liquid or just use larger fruits and vegetables. For a more liquid smoothie, add more water or juice accordingly.
  3. Add some ice cubes to make your smoothie even more refreshing. This is especially true in the summer when the weather is hot!
  4. Try adding a little ginger to the smoothie for spice or honey for extra sweetness.
  5. Instead of an orange, you can use a couple of tangerines or mangoes - it's delicious too.
