3 Ingredient Vivid Orange Carrot Smoothie

I'm not a fan of cooking. Better put, my partner does all the cooking. Coming up with snacks for myself is a pain but when he's not around I have to survive on something, lol. One of my favorite snacks is this easy three ingredient smoothie.

Ingredients:

• About 2 medium carrots
• One small orange
• About 3/4 cups of sugar to taste

Directions:

1. Wash everything; peel and chop the carrots.
2. Cut the orange into wedges and peel off the skin.
3. Put about a cup and a half to two cups of ice cubes in a blender. Better yet, if you have the refrigerator setting, add ground ice.
4. Add the sugar; you can start out by adding half of it before blending, taste it, and add more if needed.
5. Blend & enjoy!

Adjustments:

Every time I make this it comes out a little different based on how much of any ingredient I have. 

• If you want it a bit less sweet or lower in calories reduce the sugar or start with 1/4 cup of sugar, taste it after it's blended, and add sugar bit by bit until you have just enough.
• Hate pulp? Go with less orange. I recommend against straining this because you will lose a lot of the nutritional content. 
• Want to add benefits? You can include omega-3's by adding a teaspoon of ground flax or chia seeds. Throw in a tiny bunch of a deep green veggie for an added mix of nutrients.
