A healthy smoothie made with carrot juice, pineapple, banana, and coconut yogurt. Light, refreshing, and filled with tropical flavors.
Happy Friday! I’m stopping in quickly to share this recipe with you. I just made this smoothie for the third(!) time this week and I figured that if I love it this much, maybe you will too. So here it is!
How To Make a Pineapple Carrot Smoothie
This smoothie is filled with tropical flavors and the beautiful color and slight sweetness of carrot juice. This light and refreshing smoothie is the perfect way to start the day. Simply combine the following ingredients in a blender:
- Carrot Juice (look for this in the refrigerated juice/kombucha/protein drink section of your grocery store
- Frozen Pineapple
- Frozen Banana
- Coconut flavored yogurt
- Ice (if you like a thicker smoothie)
- Unflavored protein powder or collagen peptides (optional)
Oh, and the rule is, if you start the day with a smoothie, you can end the day with a glass of wine. It’s all about balance. 😉 Have a fabulous weekend!

I’d like to use fresh carrots… any idea how much? Maybe 1 cup?
Celebrating Sweets
Hi, Kim. You’ll still need the carrot juice or some other form of liquid. If you’d like to add fresh carrots in addition to the carrot juice I would say maybe 1/2 cup chopped. Your blender will need to be quite powerful, and you might need a little more liquid if it gets too thick. Just play around with it until you get your desired consistency. Enjoy!
