Instructions
Blend Carrots First
Add the baby carrots and orange juice to the blender first. Blend on high for 60 seconds until the carrots are completely liquefied. This step is critical to ensure no carrot chunks remain in the final smoothie.
Add Fruit and Yogurt
Add the frozen banana, frozen mango, vanilla yogurt, and grated ginger to the carrot and orange juice base already in the blender.
Blend Until Perfectly Smooth
Blend everything together on high speed for 75 seconds until completely smooth. Check for any remaining carrot pieces and blend longer if necessary.
Serve with Color Commentary
