Tropical Carrot Smoothie

Author: Happy Kids Kitchen

This smoothie is like a tropical vacation in a glass! Top with some shredded coconut to give this Tropical Carrot Smoothie an extra fun twist.

Ingredients

• 1 small carrot, peeled, trimmed, and chopped* (about 1/2 cup)
• 1 Clementine, tangerine, or 1/2 an orange, peeled
• 1 heaping cup frozen pineapple, mango, or a combo of both
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)
• 1 pitted date (or 1 tablespoon honey)
• 1/4 cup coconut milk (or milk of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds (optional)
• Handful of ice
• Shredded coconut for garnish

Instructions

1. Add everything to a blender and blend until smooth. Blend in additional ice if you want a thicker smoothie.
2. Pour into glasses and sprinkle with shredded coconut. Enjoy!

Notes:

*If you don’t have a high speed blender, I recommend grating the carrot so it blends more easily.
