Smoothie recipe with banana and carrots

in food •  7 years ago 

Because I love fruit, but am a bit of a difficult eater when it comes to vegetables, we have a smoothie maker. Our little girl of almost 2 is refusing vegetables most of the times, and this way we can make sure she will get those vitamins in anyways.

I am not too fund of carrots, when they are cooked, but when my boyfriend put them in a smoothie last year for the first time, I was a fan instantly. Today I will share with you my favorite smoothie recipe. My daughter loves it too!

For 3 smoothies (0,4L glasses) you need:
3 bananas cut in to little slices
3 carrots cut in to little slices
milk (not sure how much but you can see on the picture how much I use, I don't measure it)
honey
cinnamon
a blender or smoothie maker

Tip: If you want to have an extra cold smoothie, especially in summertime this is very refreshing (so I recommend it for sure) you could put the banana slices upfront in the freezer. After some hours they are cold and I love it, but this time I used normal banana slices.

As you can see I put the banana and carrots in the blender first

After this I fill it with milk, just enough to cover the layers of banana and carrot

Then I put in some honey (this was disappearing to the bottom right away, you can use how much you like to get a bit of a sweet taste) And then, last but not least, I really love this part, add cinnamon to the ingredients. As you can see I use a lot! But I do love cinnamon. You can just try a bit first, and add until you like the taste, it is quite personal I guess.

Time to mix it all, and let the blender do the work until everything is nice and smooth.

Last but not least: pour it into a glass
