Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup carrot juice
- 1 banana
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of carrot juice, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup of coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds. Make sure to have a blender ready for this smoothie preparation.
- If you haven't done so already, peel the banana and cut it into smaller pieces. This will make it easier for the blender to process.
- Next, measure out 1 cup of pineapple chunks. If you are using fresh pineapple, ensure it is peeled and cored before cutting it into chunks. If using canned pineapple, drain the juice before measuring.
- In a blender, add the carrot juice first. This will help in creating a smooth base for your smoothie.
- Add the banana pieces to the blender, followed by the pineapple chunks. This combination will provide a sweet and tropical flavor to your smoothie.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup of coconut milk. This will add creaminess and a hint of coconut flavor to your smoothie.
- Finally, add 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds. These will provide a nutritious boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk or carrot juice to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary. You can add a little honey or agave syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, and if desired, garnish with a slice of banana or a few pineapple chunks on the rim for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Carrot Banana Pineapple Smoothie!
