Clementine Carrot Blueberry Smoothie

6 Clementines (Cuties)
2 medium carrots, scraped/peeled & chunked
1/8 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)
1 tsp coconut oil
1/4 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup frozen whole blueberries
1/4 cup pecans
1/4 tsp flax seed
2-3 cups water (if needed - I used a Vitamix blender but if you are using a juicer, you might not need water.).

Not making any specific "health claims" but I'm sure everything has a benefit to you. I just used what I had on hand and what I like!

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.
