Since we got the Vitamix in January, we have bought a two 25 pound bag of carrots. The first bag was much easier to go through then the one we have now. Carrots are a great vegetable, but now that we aren’t buying them in baby carrot form, I am putting them less on salads, so I need to get on it, especially since we don’t have room to refrigerate them so they are in our garage and it’s nearing summer. I don’t want a whole bunch of rotting carrots!!
I figured I need to add them to way more smoothies, too. It’s fun once in a while to make smoothies solely based on color. Bananas blend well with all fruit and vegetable combinations and add the sweetness and creaminess I desire. I was going orange today.
Carrot Mango Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients
- 2-3 carrots
- 1 mango
- 2 bananas
- 1 cup water (you may want to add more water if the consistency is too thick)
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients until thoroughly blended.
- Serve immediately.
This was a nice thick, tasty sweet smoothie. I loved how creamy it is. If you want it a little thinner, you could add more water. It was a great fresh taste, and I had lots.

Sounds good! Thanks for the suggestion!
Way to go, Sonja! Juicing those carrots, like juicing any vegetable, sends all those vitamins, calcium, protein, and nutrients straight to your cells so they can get fed without your digestive system slogging through all the fiber! Hooray! I bet you felt great after drinking that! Since you have so many carrots, you should juice them every day!
I love the combination for you smoothie, it looks wonderful! Hope you are having a great holiday week and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday. Come Back Soon! Miz Helen
Gotta be honest, Sonja.. Never would’ve thought to combine carrots and mango, but I love both, so I can imagine how well they go together! Thanks for linking up at Tiny Tip Tuesday!
