Pineapple, Orange, Granola and Carrot Smoothie

Used a whole orange instead of juice, frozen pineapple, and fresh ginger. Needed to add some ice cubes at the end. Need to work on my ratios a bit but other than that it was good!

Did this with frozen pineapple instead of fresh and one whole clementine (skin and all) in place of the orange juice (yay fiber) added some vanilla protein powder and about 3/4 cups of water and was very impressed. Next time I may add coconut milk to round out the creaminess.

I substituted a piece of homemade bread with peanut butter on the side for the granola and added a scoop of vanilla whey protein and Tbs. of malt powder for a delicious, nutritious and satisfying breakfast.

I love the citrus with the softer tones of carrot. I notched up the tanginess by adding some grapefruit too, and sweetened and chilled it with a splash of agave and 3 frozen cubes of coconut milk. I left out the granola as I manage to eat plenty of grains as it is. Definitely worth a repeat.

Nice light smoothie! Followed instructions with two simple changes; squeezed 1 orange, added water to make 1/2 cup and blended orange pulp into the smoothie.

Somehow, I forgot the granola, but it was great anyway, helped by excellent ingredients: some flavorful pineapple that I had frozen the day before (I bought it pre-cut with its juice, which I reserved). I liquified tiny new carrots in the blender with the (not fresh-squeezed) orange juice before I put in the pineapple, then added 2 teaspoons of lime juice and a branch of mint. The mix was too thick, so I put in a half-cup of the pineapple juice. No granola, no ice cubes. A new favorite.
