METHOD · 2 STEPS

1
Combine all ingredients in the blender container.
- Peel and segment the orange, removing any seeds
- Roughly chop the carrot into smaller pieces for easier blending
- Place the orange, carrot, yogurt, water, and ginger into the jar
Process the mixture until completely smooth.
Blend on high speed for approximately two minutes until the carrot is fully pulverized and the texture is frothy and consistent throughout.
TIPIf the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more water or a few ice cubes to reach your desired consistency.

PRO TIPS

3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use a high-speed blender to ensure the raw carrots are completely liquefied for a silky texture.
2
Freeze the orange segments beforehand for a colder, thicker drink without diluting the flavor with ice.
3
Grate the ginger before adding if using a standard blender to avoid woody chunks in the final drink.
