carrot, frozen mango and basil smoothie
The title sounds weird doesn’t it?
Both carrots and mangoes are packed with beta-carotene and vitamin-A. Together; these compounds have antioxidant properties and are essential for vision. Vitamin A is also required for maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin. Although the combo may seem strange, using frozen mango makes the smoothie extremely refreshing, perfect for a hot day.
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen mango chunks
1 cup fresh carrot juice (I used raw carrots, finely chopped)
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (I used half water, half orange juice)
1/4 cup fresh herbs, such as mint, tarragon, or basil (I picked fresh basil from my garden)
Combine all ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth. enjoy!
