Spiced Carrot Smoothie
I’m not a big fan of vegetable smoothies, which is obviously a hang-up I need to overcome. So I am trying to include more vegetable smoothies on smoothieweb.com, and what sweeter vegetable is there to start with than the delicious carrot. Here is a smoothie recipe for a spiced carrot smoothie.
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1 cup cooked, chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/4 inch piece of gingerroot, peeled
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
Combine apple juice, carrots, applesauce, gingerroot and cinnamon and blend from low to high until creamy smoothie. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to your taste.

Strawberry Peach Carrot Smoothie
Next time, I think I’d omit the yogurt in favor of a banana (not a big fan of yogurt’s tanginess in smoothies) and add an extra carrot for sweetness (this wasn’t unsweet, which is why I didn’t add agave nectar, but I figure an extra carrot for sweetness is still a sneaky way of getting more…carrot. Also, I know it seems odd that carrot adds more sweetness than the fruit, but it does).
Ingredients:
- 1 medium carrot (peeled)
- 1 fresh peach
- 6 or so frozen strawberries
- 1/2 container of vanilla nonfat greek yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon flax seed oil
Blend blend blend until somewhat runny (the frozen strawberries make this more like a frozen yogurt when first combined, needs a little more blending action to make it drinkable).

Sweet Veggie Smoothie
Winter is here and the cold season comes along for the ride. Help your immune system with this veggie smoothie. Fruits and vegetables help you stay healthy and this smoothie has both. An apple a day…
Ingredients:
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 cup of sliced apple (sweet tasting apples are better)
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup sliced carrots
- 1/2 cup of cucumber (peeled and sliced)
- 2 cups of ice
- a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)
Blend this vegetable smoothie until smooth. Adding the nutmeg and cinnamon will give it great fragrance.
Berry, Berry Good Smoothie
This is a fun smoothie packed with everything. Adding a carrot may sound odd, but you’ll hardly taste it and the extra vitamins will do you good. Try it without the carrot if vegetables offend you. ;-)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 raspberries
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1 cup apple juice (unsweetened)
- 2 cups ice
- 1 small carrot
Blend until the nutrients are singing.
Tomato Smoothie
Tomatoes are a great ingredient for a healthy smoothie recipe because of their antioxidant properties. Men in particular should add tomatoes to their diet to help prevent prostate cancer.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (chopped) tomatoes
- 1/2 cup tomatoe juice
- 1/4 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup carrots
- 1/4 cup (chopped) celery
- Tabasco or hot sauce to taste
- 2 cups ice
