Putting vegetables in a breakfast smoothie might sound scary, but it’s a great way to add a burst of flavor and a wealth of nutrients to your morning. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
The main ingredient in this smoothie is carrots. Its mild flavor combined with the sweetness of mango create a deliciously balanced taste. Not only that, but carrots are great at helping to increase resistance to oxidative stress thanks to their high amount of carotenoids. [1]
If you want to make this smoothie for breakfast or lunch on the go, simply pour it into a sealable mason jar or travel mug and store it in the refrigerator up to three days. When you’re ready to enjoy, shake vigorously or stir well to mix.
