Description

Ingredients

• 1 - 1.5 cups citrus fruit (oranges, tangerines, mandarines...)
• ½ large carrot, cut into spears for easier blending
• ½ frozen banana (optional - for sweetness and creaminess)
• juice of ½ key lime
• small piece of fresh ginger
• ⅛ - ½ teaspoon ground turmeric (to taste)
• honey for sweetness (to taste)
• ½ - 1 cup water

Directions

• Add the citrus fruit, carrot spears, optional frozen banana, lime juice, ginger, turmeric and honey to a blender.
• Add water (start with ½ cup and add more as needed to keep the blender going) and blend until smooth. Because of the carrot, this may take a little longer than other smoothies.
• Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if desired. If you can handle it, you may also want to increase the amount of turmeric.
