Preparation

Step 1

Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse for 30-60 seconds until smooth.  If the smoothie is too thick, add an extra 1/4 cup of almond milk to thin it out.

Serve immediately, garnished with optional toppings if desired.

*If you don't have a high-powered blender, you may have to blend this smoothie for a bit longer.  Or you could also shave the carrots (instead of dicing them) beforehand to make blending easier.
