By Moow Editorial ·
- Grating the carrot first makes the smoothie easier to blend.
- Whole orange segments provide the liquid and pulp together; no juice is needed.

Ingredients
Measure these ingredients for the full recipe yield.
- 1 cup (165 g) unsweetened frozen mango chunks
- 1 medium carrot (60 g trimmed), scrubbed and finely grated
- 1 medium orange (130 g peeled), seeds removed and separated into segments
- 2 teaspoons (4 g) finely grated peeled fresh ginger
- 3/4 cup (180 ml; 180 g) cold water
Directions
1. Scrub the carrot, trim its ends, and grate it finely. Peel the orange and remove any seeds; leave the edible segment membranes in place.
2. Pour the water into a blender. Add the orange, carrot, ginger, and frozen mango in that order.
3. Secure the lid and blend on low, then high, for 60 to 90 seconds, until as smooth as your blender allows. Stop and scrape the sides if needed; do not strain out the fruit or carrot.
4. Divide evenly between two glasses and serve cold. A standard blender may leave a little carrot texture, which is expected.
Ingredient notes
No coffee, tea, or cocoa is added.
