This carrot juice smoothie is packed with nutrients. It’s a great way to round out your nutritional intake for the day, especially if you need something you can drink on the go. This flavor-loaded smoothie made with carrot juice is sweet, creamy, and satisfying. Give this a try if you’re looking for nutritious breakfast ideas, like this pea protein smoothie, which is another great option.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Carrot juice is exceptionally high in beta carotene, which your body can convert to vitamin A as needed. I love using carrot juice in smoothies instead of milk or other liquids. It adds tons of delicious, slightly earthy flavor in addition to plenty of nutrients.

I like to use a sweet variety of apple such as Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, or Gala when making this smoothie. But tart varieties such as Granny Smith are perfect if you prefer to keep this smoothie a little lower in sugar.

Banana add creaminess to the smoothie. Choose a riper banana for extra sweetness or a less ripe banana for a lower sugar option.

I like to add a pinch of cinnamon to this smoothie. It complements the other flavors perfectly. You can omit the cinnamon if you prefer, or substitute other spices. Ground ginger or even a pumpkin pie spice blend would be good alternatives.

Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions
