Ok, this is more like yesterday’s breakfast, but we will stick with the regular titles for posts. It all falls under the kitchen, food umbrella anyway. I have always been a smoothie girl. I would pick a smoothie over ice cream any day. Now that Rowan is a pickier eater when it comes to veggies, I have been looking for smoothies to make her that include fruits and veggies. This is a delicious one that includes carrots! A mild smoothie for anyone who is a little scared to add veggies to smoothies. We drink them in the mornings together. MMMMMmmmmmmm!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup chopped fresh pineapple (Freeze chunks first)
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup chopped carrot
1/2 banana (slice and freeze first)
BLEND. BLEND. BLEND. DRINK. DRINK. DRINK!!
Enjoy!

I have always been a smoothie girl too. When I was 14 we moved to a new town and I had to start high school knowing NO one. I was SO nervous that I couldn’t eat. My mom would make me smoothies every morning so that I had some food in me. This is where my love for them began. I have one every morning and usually throw in a 1/4 cup of frozen chopped spinach. Sounds gross, but the fruit covers up the taste :).
We have just started having smoothies with our girls and they are loving them! I will definitely add this recipe to our rotation – thanks!

I love smoothies! Especially green ones, but this sounds amazing too. Do you use cooked or raw carrot?
MUST try this! I’ve been having a tough time getting my lil one to eat her veggies. I’ve been making green monsters for her lately (which she loves), but I never thought to add carrots to a smoothie. I think this might be breakfast tomorrow…YUM 🙂
Oh my, it sounds amazing – & the colour of it just makes me think of sorbet. Delicious! Will definitely be trying this one out!
