Clementine Carrot Blueberry Smoothie
- Number of Servings: 3
Ingredients
6 Clementines (Cuties)2 medium carrots, scraped/peeled & chunked1/8 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)1 tsp coconut oil1/4 tsp olive oil1/2 cup frozen whole blueberries1/4 cup pecans1/4 tsp flax seed2-3 cups water (if needed - I used a Vitamix blender but if you are using a juicer, you might not need water.).
I put all ingredients in Vitamix container, basically soft stuff first and then chunky stuff and then added water to about the 4 cup line (less than 4 cups because the peeled clementines and thawing blueberries kinda kick off some of their fluids).
Peeled & chunked up carrots. Added oils, nuts, seeds, and the water. I use distilled water but there was only nutritional info for "tap" and "bottled" water. Use your own judgement!
Put lid on Vitamix, turn it on, turn the throttle on from 0 to 9 or whatever the max is, and then turn Turbo switch on (if your model has it.). (In other words, follow the manufacturer's directions for whatever blending or juicing equipment you own. I'm sure everyone will get slightly different results depending on their equipment.). I just processed it oh, maybe two minutes, kinda watching to make sure the pecan and flax seed specks got smaller and smaller. If you prefer chunkier and more texture, then stop sooner.
Serving Size: makes 3 or more glasses 12-16 oz (depends)
