• 1.5 medium Carrots, chopped (keep the skin)

Put all the above ingredients in a blender and blend them well for about 40-45 seconds. Blend till the mixture is creamy. This smoothie should serve 3.

Side-Effects

• The Carrots can make you feel a little gassy through the day. If it troubles you too much, simply reduce the quantity of carrots the next time you make the smoothie
• The Apples really impart a great taste to the smoothie. If your Apples are not juicy enough, follow one of the variations below

Variations

• You can use a citrus fruit like an Orange in your mixture. This will fuel your Vitamin C needs too
