Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 large carrot, peeled
  • 2 tangerines or 1 large orange (regular or blood orange)
  • 6 ounces fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon chia seed (more if you are making smoothie bowls).
  • 6-8 ounces plain Kefir yogurt or cultured plain yogurt. See notes for vegan option.
  • 3 – 4 dates, pitted
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 Tablespoon grated ginger
  • Optional 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional 1/2 Tablespoon coconut oil

Instruction

  • Peel the carrot and oranges.
  • Place carrots, orange, and juice in a blender. Blend until a thick juice is formed.
  • Next add the chia seeds, yogurt, spices, ginger, and coconut oil.
  • Blend again.
  • To make smoothie bowls, add an addition 1 teaspoon chia seed and let the blended smoothie mix sit overnight, (or at least for a few hours) in the fridge. The chia seed will help it thicken. Pour into bowls and garnish with orange slices, cinnamon, gluten free oats, and optional honey.
