Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Fruit
- 1 small carrot, rough chopped
- 1 fresh or frozen banana
- 1-2 dates, pitted
Liquids
- 1/2 cup coconut water or orange juice
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups coconut or almond milk
- Water as needed to thin
Dry Ingredients and Spices
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons raw walnuts or cashews, soaked overnight in water
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1 teaspoon maca powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend carrot mixture: In a blender, combine the carrot, turmeric, and coconut water (or orange juice). Blend until completely smooth and no carrot chunks remain, adding water if needed to thin. Pour this mixture into a tall glass.
- Blend creamy base: Rinse the blender to clean it. Then add the banana, pitted dates, soaked nuts, hemp seeds, maca powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and the coconut or almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more milk if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
- Combine and serve: Pour the creamy banana and nut mixture over the carrot mixture in the glass and stir gently to swirl both layers together. Enjoy your vibrant Morning Glory Power Smoothie immediately.
Notes
- Soaking the nuts overnight softens them for a smoother texture in the smoothie.
- Adjust the amount of milk to achieve thickness preference—use more for a thinner smoothie.
- Use frozen banana to chill the smoothie without adding ice.
- Dates add natural sweetness; adjust quantity based on your sweetness preference.
- You can substitute hemp seeds with chia seeds if desired.
- Use fresh turmeric for a stronger flavor or replace with 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric if unavailable.
