Carrots in a smoothie sounded like a trick, but the sweetness surprised me. This mango carrot detox smoothie tastes like a creamsicle someone made healthier, with a soft orange glow.
Refreshing Mango Carrot Detox Smoothie
This smoothie blends ripe mangoes and fresh carrots with just a hint of ginger for added zing. It’s simple to prepare, requiring only a blender and a few minutes of your time. Ideal for serving 2, this smoothie can be enjoyed any time of the day.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup coconut water or almond milk
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and dice the mango, peel and chop the carrots, and optionally peel the ginger.
- Blend: In a blender, combine the mango, carrots, coconut water or almond milk, ginger, and honey or maple syrup, if using.
- Add Ice: If desired, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender for a chilled smoothie.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.

Shred the carrot fine or your blender will leave bits. A frozen mango means you don’t need to add ice.
