Carrot Orange Banana Smoothies
A few years ago you couldn't PAY me to eat a raw carrot. You just couldn't. I liked them just fine cooked, and damn if I don’t love a good carrot cake – But raw carrots? Get out of town...
Ingredients
- 5 carrots roughly chopped
- 3 oranges - peeled and removed of pith
- 4 cups cold water
- 3 very ripe bananas
- 1 heaping tablespoon flaxseed
- splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- To a high powered blender, add water, carrots and oranges. Blend until smooth and completely combined.
- Strain the carrots and oranges into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
- Add the newly strained juice back in the blender, and add the bananas, flax seed, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Serve onto 8 oz glasses.
