    If one of your resolutions is to eat more veggies, this Carrot, Apple and Turmeric Smoothie is for you.  It's bright, beautiful and full of goodness. {gluten free, vegan, keto, paleo)

    Carrot, Apple and Turmeric Smoothie with a straw

    How are your New Year's resolutions going?  I kept mine simple so it's hard to fail.  If your resolution was to eat more veggies, I've got a smoothie for you.

    Most importantly, it's not green!  Nothing against green smoothies but sometimes we need something different.  This Carrot, Apple and Turmeric Smoothie is so beautiful, it will brighten your morning.

    Carrot, Apple and Turmeric Smoothie ingredients in blender

    Carrots, apples and turmeric go so well together like in this Sheet Pan Chicken with Turmeric or in this Roasted Carrot Turmeric Soup from Love and Lemons.  Carrots are full of the antioxidant beta-carotene so you can feel good about starting your day with this.  Or you can choose to have it as your afternoon snack.  

    This is not a high protein smoothie so it won't fill you up. It's a great way to avoid the munchies in that tough 3:00-5:00 time period.

    Carrot, Apple and Turmeric Smoothie recipe with carrots

    I always have coconut water on hand to toss into smoothies.  It's a great way to thin it out to the perfect consistency while adding electrolytes and potassium.

      What if you don’t have coconut water can it be optional?

        Sure you can use regular water or try almond milk.
