Sunny Carrot Smoothie best Breakfast with Migraine

Sunny Carrot Smoothie

Serves 2 / Prep time: 5 minutes

NUT-FREE	VEGAN	QUICK & EASY

This smoothie is absolutely packed with beta-carotene from the bright carrots and ripe mango. Mangos have an interesting, almost pine-like taste, which combines beautifully with the thyme in this pretty breakfast drink. Mangos are an excellent source of vitamins A, B₆, and C, as well as fiber and potassium. When choosing your mangos, look beyond the color, and pick fruit that gives when you press it gently and has a delicate scent near the stem end. To blanch vegetables, simply cook them in boiling water before plunging them in ice water.

Recipe:

• 2 large carrots, peeled, cut into chunks, and blanched for 5 minutes
• 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into chunks
• 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks
• ½ English cucumber, cut into chunks
• ½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 4 ice cubes

1. In a blender, blend the carrots, apple, mango, cucumber, and thyme until 

    smooth.

2. Add the ice cubes, and blend until thick and smooth.

3. Pour the mixture into 2 glasses, and serve.
