This carrot smoothie is my son’s creation. It uses just a few simple ingredients, combining the sweet and slightly earthy flavors of carrots with the natural sweetness and creaminess of bananas. The end result is a thick and delicious, orange-colored, vegetable smoothie.
It's got fall vibes like my sweet potato smoothie recipe. This is the perfect way to use up beautiful fall produce from the garden.
It's also a great way to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet in a tasty and convenient way. I also have a green smoothie, raw veggie smoothie and kale and fruit smoothie that are just as tasty and filled with vegetables.

❓Recipe FAQs
Carrots and bananas can work well together in a smoothie, especially when combined with other complementary ingredients. They also go well with oranges and pineapple.
Since carrots are quite fibrous, it's best to blend raw carrots with a liquid, as I do in this smoothie.
Carrot and milk are a great combination and is common in smoothies.
