Carrot, Apple Smoothie

carrotapplesmoothie

Place all of the ingredients in your Nutribullet or Vitamix.

  • 2 large carrots, washed and chopped
  • 1 large sweet apple, washed, cored and chopped
  • the juice of one lemon
  • 1/4 of a sweet potato, washed and chopped

Blend until smooth.

Now, I’ve already talked about the health benefits of carrots so how about we discuss what’s up with sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are very high in Vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 helps reduce the chemical homocysteine in our bodies.  Homocysteine has been linked with degenerative diseases, including the prevention of heart attacks.
