🥄 Step-by-Step: How to Make It Perfectly
Step 1: Prep the Carrot First
Peel the carrot and chop it into small chunks. If you have a high-speed blender, you can add it directly. Otherwise, consider grating it for a smoother texture.
This step ensures that the final smoothie has a creamy consistency without chunks.
Step 2: Blend in Stages for Best Results
Start by blending the chopped carrot with the almond milk until smooth. Then, add the banana, avocado, optional honey, and cinnamon. Blend again until everything is fully incorporated.
Lastly, add ice cubes and blend for a refreshing, chilled result.
