Orange, Carrot, Ginger Smoothie!

There is nothing like waking up and tossing some fresh produce into a high speed blender for a jam-packed nutritious breakfast.  A high speed blender helps to break down the fibers in the fruits and veggies to create a smooth and creamy shake. This smoothie is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and electrolytes.  It is a great way to start the day energized!  I like my smoothies well chilled so I store the oranges, carrots and coconut water in the refrigerator so my ingredients are all ready for blending. 😀  

Ingredients

• 2 large carrots, cut into circles, peeled and chilled

• 3-4 small to medium navel oranges, peeled and chilled

• 12 oz. coconut water, chilled

• ½ - 1 inch or so grated fresh ginger

• 6-8 coconut water ice cubes

Instructions

1. Blend until smooth and creamy in your high speed blender. I blended smoothie for about a minute or two.

2. Though there are no bits in this smoothie it is on the thicker side. If you prefer it to be thinner feel free to strain and then drink or add more coconut water.

3. Enjoy!
