The Superfoods

Carrots are a versatile smoothie ingredient. Whether you're going for a dessert-like carrot and cinnamon smoothie or a health-boosting carrot tops smoothie, they have you covered. But it's not just their flexibility; carrots pack a nutritional punch too.

Carrots

Carrots come packed with vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals essential for a strong immune system. Research suggests that carotenoids, the antioxidants giving carrots their vibrant color, may reduce the risk of colon and stomach cancers.

Bananas, high in fiber, are an additional weapon in your anticancer arsenal. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber is associated with a lower overall cancer risk

Banana Carrot Smoothie Substitutions

We love our Banana Carrot Smoothie, but we understand everyone has unique tastes and dietary needs. If you're looking to switch things up, your BlendJet can blend it all. Here are a few of our favorite swaps:

Carrots: Parsnips have a similar texture to carrots and lend a subtle sweetness that works well in smoothies. Alternatively, sweet potatoes can add a richer, more velvety texture and an equally delightful sweetness.

Banana: If you're looking for a different fruit with a creamy texture, avocados or mangos could be great substitutes. For a less sweet option, Greek yogurt or a small amount of silken tofu can add creaminess without the fructose.

Unsweetened Orange Juice: You could swap in apple juice or pineapple juice for a different kind of sweet tang. For a low-sugar alternative, try almond milk or coconut water. If you're up for a tart twist, a blend of water and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can do the trick.

Banana Carrot Smoothie FAQs 

Can I have a banana carrot smoothie while trying to lose weight? 

Absolutely! Bananas are rich in fiber that helps you feel full, thus preventing overeating. Enjoy them in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Carrot smoothies are great for weight loss in general, so try out our carrot and spinach smoothie, ginger carrot smoothie, or even a mango carrot smoothie recipe.

How ripe should the bananas be for a banana-carrot smoothie? 

The riper the banana, the sweeter your smoothie. If you fancy a sweet treat, 'overripe' bananas are perfect. Since bananas are naturally sweet, we use unsweetened orange juice in our banana carrot smoothie.
