Main Ingredients
- 1 small carrot, rough chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 cup coconut water or orange juice
- 1 fresh or frozen banana
- 1-2 dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons raw walnuts or cashews, soaked overnight in water
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1 teaspoon maca powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups coconut or almond milk
Instructions
- Blend Carrot Mixture: In a blender, combine the carrot, turmeric, and coconut water. Blend until completely smooth with no carrot chunks remaining. Add additional water if needed to thin the mixture. Pour the blend into a tall glass.
- Blend Fruit and Nut Mixture: Rinse the blender to remove residue. Add banana, pitted dates, soaked raw walnuts or cashews, hemp seeds, maca powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and the coconut or almond milk. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy, adding more milk if necessary to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Combine and Serve: Pour the creamy fruit and nut mixture over the carrot layer in the glass. Stir gently to swirl the two mixtures together. Enjoy your Morning Glory Power Smoothie fresh for the best taste and nutrition.
Notes
- Soak nuts overnight for a creamier texture and better digestibility.
- Use fresh turmeric or turmeric powder based on availability.
- Choose coconut water for a lighter flavor or orange juice for added sweetness.
- Frozen banana works well to chill the smoothie without adding ice.
- Adjust the thickness by varying the amount of coconut or almond milk.
