So, what sparked the carrot smoothie idea ? Simply put, I had carrots in my fridge, didn’t have bananas or any other soft fruit to throw into my liquid breakfast, and figured I have a super powerful blender, why wouldn’t it whip carrots into a delightful beverage? And guess what, it totally does!
Care for a slice of cake for breakfast? or a healthy smoothie? I think this might be my dream come true.
