Carrot Apple Ginger Smoothie Recipe

When I made this smoothie, it immediately reminded me of fall. And while it’s a cold January day here, I still enjoyed the spiciness of the ginger paired with the sweetness of the apple and banana. It was a great combination!

I’m one of those strange folks who doesn’t care for apples. I don’t dislike them, but I don’t love them either. They’ve just never been my jam. But in an effort to eat more fiber and to eat more healthy fruits and veggies in general, I thought, “Why not add the apples to your smoothies?” Yeah, it’s so much better!

And carrots are at the top of my fave veggies list, so this recipe was a no-brainer.

If you want to make this fruit and veggie smoothie more kid-friendly, skip the ginger. My son didn’t like the spicy flavor, but when he tried it without the ginger, he enjoyed it very much.

If this is your first time putting fresh ginger in a smoothie, start with about half the recommended amount, and then bump it up from there according to your own tastes. It can be overwhelming if you add too much!
