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!
This smoothie boasts tropical flavors from pineapple, banana, and coconut Greek yogurt. Carrot juice adds a slight sweetness as well as a beautiful orange color. The combination of flavors might seem a little different but, trust me, it totally works!
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 says
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!
