Carrot and orange smoothie

I just love the colour of this breakfast smoothie and the vitamin A it contains will give you laser vision! Well, not quite but it is very good for the eyes and if I have a lot of computer work to do this really helps me feel less foggy. Great for energy and easy digestion this tasty treat will soon become a form favourite!

You will need a smoothie maker for this recipe! I used a Nutri-Bullet. Not expensive and in regular use at my house!

Instructions

1. TIP! Pour the water into the smoothie jug first so nothing gets clogged or stuck at the top.
2. Peel and chop the orange and wash and chop the carrot. Peel banana and break into small chunks. Add these to the smoothie maker.
3. Add the dry ingredients. If you take vitamins you can add these to the mix if not in capsule form. I added my vitamin D to this smoothie just to make doubly sure I was getting everything I need to set me up for the day.
4. Blend or pulse for 30 - 40 seconds until smoothie is fully blended. You may add more water at this point if you prefer a less thick consistency. I like to 'chew' my smoothies and make a real meal out of it but we will each have a personal preference on desired consistency. Go with the flow and enjoy the glow! Serve with a lime wedge.
