Frequently Asked Questions

Best Tips for Carrot Smoothie

• I like to use grated carrots in this since they are easier to blend very smooth. You can use chopped carrots, but let the blender run until smooth.
• If you are making this and you aren’t sure if your blender is that high powered, you may want to soak the grated carrots in hot water for a few minutes, then drain them before adding to the blender. This will soften them and make them blend more easily.
• To make this super creamy, add the optional yogurt.
• Serve in small open cups or a reusable pouch for babies and toddlers.
• If serving this for a meal, add a muffin, toast, cereal, eggs, or another fav food to round it out.
• You can use a small orange in place of a clementine if desired.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
• I prefer nondairy milk as it is less likely to separate. Find my guide to Toddlers and Milk here.
