Green Smoothie of The Day: Tropical Carrot Cake Smoothie

in #food7 years ago (edited)

Good morning fellow steemians. It's Friday! Woot woot. Not that it matters when you work from home, but I love Fridays anyways. Brings me one day closer to Sunday Funday which is my favorite, lazy day of the week.

Though I haven't made any exciting plans for my day off, apart from making a red beet brownie ;), I'm getting into shooting food videos for youtube and my website in the coming 2 days. So that's what my weekend is going to look like. If you have experience with shooting food videos, all tips are welcome. I bet the first one will be crap... but hey that's the learning process right? Trial and error.

Looking forward to having some fun with it. To be honest, I have never been much of a recipe video or course video type of girl. I like to read things, but the new generation is all about videos and Instagram so in a way, I need to pimp up my old-fashioned blogging style to keep up with the younger generation. Ohh my saying this just made me feel old hahaha.

No worries, in my mind I stayed 26 years old ;) Why 26... I do not know. It was a good year and maybe it's my magical number... but you feel as old as you think you are right... so 26 it is for me ;)

But enough of this chatting. Let get on with the smoothie.

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup roughly chopped carrots
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup pineapple
2 cups mango
1 banana
Fresh grated ginger to taste
Cinnamon to taste
Nutmeg to taste
1/4-1/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats
2 tbsp dried goji berries (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick for you, add more liquid base.
  2. Add superfoods/toppings - such as goji berries, hemp hearts, or raw cacao nibs - if you like.

Very healthy, but looks good :-)

We love our morning smoothies. Thanks for stopping by ;)

it is still Thursday here lol...enjoy Friday :)

Hehe! We are one step ahead of the weekend ;) Love it! Enjoy the rest of your evening ;)

I just made a banana, cucumber, coconut cream and milk, blended ice bar and blended with half cup of ice tea, it was spontaneous and came out perfect... I taste it to try it out, ended up drinking the entire mug within minutes... taste so damn good

Hmm sounds great too! Thanks for your comment and keep up the blending. It is so good for you.

Congrats on the website and for the creation of a delicious looking smoothie :D

Major changes... new website coming up, the program and videos. Exciting times... but I bet it's even more exciting for you. New life about to get born. Have a great weekend ;)

No matter what the goals are , excitement is all around the corner . And yes I'm very much excited :D . Have a great weekend as well !

Looks really good :) Great idea to put broccoli in your smoothie recipe. I usually put some kale in, but I'll think of adding broccoli next time!

That's the beauty of making smoothies. You can put anything in there. I love celery smoothies too but my hubby is not a fan. Thanks for stopping by ;)

Yum, yum,...very healthy :))

Carrot cake is one of my favorites, and having it in smoothie form just sounds incredible! The color is so invigorating! Yum! Also, I'm with you on the lower-tech way of things. I cannot keep up with all these apps and snaps and whatever else is coming out day after day! Too much energy when I can be doing other things!

True that! I can't keep up either, but it is time for me to adapt hehe!

The broccoli is an amazing idea, love it! :)

Good one indeed which will certainly be great for our health. Keep it up.

It sure is! Thanks for your ongoing support ;)

You are welcome, always.
