Tips & Notes
4

  • Steam carrots first if you want a silkier texture (especially for lower-powered blenders).

  • No banana? Use mango or soaked dates for sweetness.

  • Add-ins: Collagen, protein powder, or chia seeds make it more filling.

  • Dessert version: Top with coconut whipped cream, crushed pecans, and a dash of cinnamon.

  • Meal prep tip: Freeze pre-shredded carrot, banana, and oats in smoothie bags.
