Bright, refreshing orange carrot smoothie made with ginger, banana, and citrus. Packed with vitamin C and ready in 5 minutes!
Cold and flu season hit our family hard this year and for the first time in my adult life, I had literally no appetite. One of the few foods I craved was this nutrient-rich orange carrot smoothie. To be honest, whenever I’m not feeling my best I love fueling my body with a nourishing smoothie. You can browse these high protein smoothies including my favorite Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie and Chocolate Strawberry Protein Smoothie. I prefer to use fresh fruit, but you can use frozen fruit and veggies, too!
