Ingredients

1 cup chopped carrots
1 medium apple, cored and chopped
1/2 cup frozen banana chunks
1 tablespoon Tonomi banana flour
1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, coconut, oat, etc.)
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
Optional: Pinch of ground cinnamon, honey or maple syrup to taste

Directions

Wash and chop the carrots and apple. Freeze the banana chunks beforehand for a thicker smoothie consistency.
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. You may need to adjust the amount of plant-based milk depending on your desired consistency.
Add a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra warmth or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Pour into a glass and savor your refreshing and energizing smoothie.

Recipe Note

Tips:

Don't have banana flour? You can substitute with another gluten-free flour like Tonomi’s Tapioca flour, though the consistency may vary slightly.

Want to make it extra creamy? Add a scoop of plain yogurt or protein powder to the mix.

This smoothie is a great base for customization! Throw in some spinach or kale for a green boost, add a scoop of nut butter for extra protein, or experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom.

Freeze leftover smoothie portions in an ice cube tray for a quick and refreshing grab-and-go treat later!
