Carrot Berry Banana Smoothie
This Carrot Berry Banana Smoothie is filling, takes 2 minutes to make and gives you a boost of protein, fiber and a serving of vegetables!
Today, the temperature was about 85 degrees, a beautiful summer day. Troy had just gotten back from a run and needed something to eat. I had been eating heavier over the weekend and wanted something healthy. Hence the carrot berry banana smoothie was born.
I had tried carrots in a smoothie once before but the carrot didn't get chopped up quite enough. This time, I was determined to be able to hide the carrot in the smoothie. In fact, Troy doesn't like raw carrots so I knew it you could taste it at all, he would taste it. Well, Troy ended up loving the smoothie and when I told him there was carrot in it, he said that he couldn't even tell. That's a win for sure!

If you're scared of veggies in a smoothie, don't be! They are delicious. My favorites are kale, spinach and carrots.
