Carrots are probably not something you would think should be added or belongs in smoothies. However, if you haven’t tried adding carrots to your smoothies, you are missing out!
Apple smoothies are quite popular among smoothie enthusiasts, but carrot smoothies? Not as popular as an apple smoothie. But, it’s definitely worth trying!
Can I Blend Apple And Carrot Together?
You can most certainly blend apples and carrots together. All you need is a blender and 5 minutes of your time.
Blending apples and carrots is a great way to sneak veggies and fruit into your diet, or your child’s diet.
What Are The Benefits Of Eating Carrots And Apples Together?
Both carrots and apples have quite unique health benefits and tastes.
They not only complement each other very well in terms of flavor, but they also provide you with multiple different health benefits.
Carrots have incredible properties, such as cancer-fighting beta carotene, and are extremely good to keep your eyes healthy.
Apple, on the other hand, is rich in vitamins, such as vitamin C, and it also contains fiber, which is crucial for our gut health, and much more.
Is Blended Carrot Healthy?
Whether you are eating the carrot whole or blended, it’s still a carrot. Of course, blended carrot is healthy.
In fact, there are some benefits to blending fruit and veg, such as better absorption of nutrients.
Unfortunately, most of us don’t chew our food well enough, or long enough, so we leave it for our bodies to do that part most of the time, which requires additional energy.
Blending helps your digestion, since what you are sending to your stomach is a really well-chewed-up food.
