This carrot and apple smoothie is creamy and has a light tropical flavor thanks to coconut milk. It's naturally sweetened from the carrots and apple, and the combination of ginger and lemon juice adds just a bit of spice and helps balance the flavor. The turmeric, fresh or dried, gives the smoothie a vibrant bright orange color.
2 large carrots, sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium-ripe banana
1 large Honeycrisp apple, cored and quartered
1 cup light coconut milk
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced fresh turmeric or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ cup ice cubes
Combine carrots, banana, apple, coconut milk, lemon juice, ginger and turmeric in a blender. Process until smooth, about 45 seconds. Add ice cubes and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately.
