Ingredients

1 large raw carrot, sliced (or shredded if you don’t have a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix)
1 frozen medium ripe banana
½ cup frozen pineapple chunks
¾ cup light coconut milk, plus more if necessary (use any milk you’d like)
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup gluten free oats
1 tablespoon pecan butter or almond butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

Step 1: Add all ingredients into a large high-powered blender.
Step 2: Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and well combined. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to reach your desired consistency.

Tips & Variations

For added sweetness, include a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
Switch pecan butter with almond butter or peanut butter depending on your preference.
To boost protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
If you don’t have coconut milk, almond, oat, or regular milk will work just fine.
Use shredded carrot if your blender isn’t very powerful to avoid texture issues.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Before drinking, stir well as separation may occur. Reheat gently or enjoy chilled.

How to Serve

Two tall glasses filled with a creamy orange smoothie are placed on a silver textured tray that sits on a white marbled surface. Each glass has a smooth, thick texture, with the smoothie nearly reaching the rim. The top layer of the smoothie is garnished with small pieces of shredded orange carrot and scattered pecan nuts, adding a bit of texture and color contrast. Loose pecan pieces and carrot shreds are casually spread around the tray and surface, enhancing the natural, fresh look of the drink. The background is a soft white marble, which highlights the warm orange color of the smoothies. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this smoothie vegan?

Can I prepare the smoothie ingredients in advance?
