Carrot Ginger Turmeric Smoothie

SO good! I did not strain the carrot pulp either; I used baby carrots and just blended them up with the water until they were super smooth and saved it to make more during the work week. Great recipe!

So good! Easy to make . I used all fresh ingredients and did not strain out the carrot pulp, blended very well . Thanks !

I meant to leave 5 stars for comment below! Really delicious smoothie and I’ve already made it several times!

This is REALLY good. I love how the pineapple and banana lend a hint of tropical flavor. I used a small knob of fresh turmeric and didn’t strain out the carrot pulp. Everything else I kept the same. Even my 7 year old loved it. Yum and thank you for the recipe!

Sooo good!! I was surprised how well all the different flavours go together. Definitely gonna make this more often. Tip: add a bit of black pepper (you won’t really taste it) to absorb all the nutrients from the turmeric.

what the hell. how can such a nutrient dense drink taste so incredible. what the hell!!!!!!!!!!! ill admit i used store bought carrot juice (but its just carrots and water i swear)! and hemp milk instead but wow wow wow this was incredible

I add ginger and turmeric to several dishes and beverages so I was interested in trying this. I liked the citrus tang of this smoothie. I also tried it substituting a cup of blueberries for the banana – yummy.

Oh my!! This is a gift!!!! Delicious and power packed. I will be making this often. I also added three whole carrots with extra milk….had oat milk on hand so used that. What a treat!! Thank you for sharing. ❤

This was so so good and easy!!!! I used a fine mesh strainer in place of a towel. And I used fresh turmeric root.
Probably one of the best smoothies I’ve ever had… Ever.

Thank you for this recipe! I’m allergic to almonds, so I substituted soy milk in here instead of the almond milk, and it worked well. I also used some frozen carrots I had on hand – was a good way to empty my freezer a little. I added your recipe to my recipe roundup because I thought it was so good. Thanks!

Yummy delicious. I didn’t strain the carrot and I used a frozen prepackaged single serving mix of pineapple, papaya and mango. Thank you! Delicious and nutritious.

Very frustrating recipe. I recommend reading ahead before making this recipe to adjust to your preferences. I did not like the fact that I ended up making 2 whole cups of carrot juice from following the recipe, when the recipe only calls for 1/2 cup. I did not want extra juice, so feel like that should’ve been an optional instruction. The recipe should’ve called for 1/4 cup carrots and however much water to make 1/2 c juice. Then as I continued to follow the recipe, I added a whole cup of almond milk as instructed. I should’ve known better. It was extremely watery/runny and not the way the consistency of a smoothie should be. So I advise starting out putting in 1/4 c almond milk (or less) and adding more if/as needed.

This is so yummy. Adding this to my list of staple smoothie recipes.

This smoothie is so good.. I now drink it every morning.Thank you for including how to make the carrot juice..and the almond milk..so easy

This was… AMAZING! My favourite smoothie yet. The perfect balance of all the flavours. S

In my 35 years I’ve never commented on a recipe but I’m so in love with this one i might print it and frame it. I have a bad habit of not measuring anything but it still came out delicious. Perfect for late late night studying. Thank you!

My favorite smoothie recipe. Ever.

Delicious! I added the carrots in whole to keep some texture. But great recipe!

Love this recipe! I doubled the turmeric and ginger which gave it a little kick. I’ll definitely be making this again!

I added one scoop of vanilla protein powder to this smoothie (to give it more of a protein boost).
It turned out wonderful! Tastes like and looks like an orange cream sickle!

This is a great alternative to my usual berry smoothie! I didn’t have pineapple but it still tastes yummy! I didn’t strain the carrots I just added more water to make it thinner!

No carrots? Sub orange juice. The Recipe still came out amazing (the turmeric and ginger gives it the real pop). I will try this again next time and purchase pure carrot juice.

I turned this beautiful orange drink into a smoothie bowl simply by reducing the nutmilk and using whole carrots and frozen fruit. I topped it with sliced strawberries, flaked coconut, and sliced banana. I love the ginger in it – soooooo good! It was an amazing breakfast! Thank you. :)

I’ve been trying immune-boosting recipes since I work in health care. I love this smoothie!! I substituted bottled carrot juice and I used cinnamon instead of turmeric and let me tell you—I will drink this often!

This was delicious! I loved all the fresh flavors together. Will definitely make again!

I really love this smoothie!!! I don’t bother juicing the carrots, I just add 1.5 cups shredded plus 1.5 cups of water and left everything else the same- SO GOOD. Will add even more ginger next time because I love that zing soooooo much.

Love it!!

Yummy! I was looking through Pinterest and found this because I was looking to use up my leftover carrots. This is so refreshing & nutritious ..this will definitely be one of my go to recipes!

This was sooo yummy!!! I added fresh tumeric (wear gloves) and added all the carrot juice. It was so delicious and light and refreshing! I used organic banana and pineapple. WILL BE MAKING AGAIN

Yummy!!! Good for the liver!!!! Took no time to make and easy enough so I don’t have to go buy a juicer!!! Even my “ginger” picky husband liked it!!! Best served cold!!

Great recipe! Creamy and refreshing with a light zing. I didn’t strain the carrot juice, however it was still deliciously smooth. Used cow’s milk as didn’t have any cashew milk, but looking forward to trying it again using a healthier milk alternative! I really like recipes that don’t include too much fruit and have a reasonable portion of veg. Tip for the gals: I also added chia seeds as I personally find they really help with PCOS and cysts!

Delicious! I made a couple necessary modifications based on what I had onhand (a peeled, frozen lemon half in place of juice; only 5 chunks of packaged, frozen pineapple; whole milk in place of almond milk; I only had about half the amount of ginger called for; and the banana I used was very ripe and frozen). I also opted to make the carrot juice with the proportions recommended but without straining it (more fiber; less prep). Despite these changes, the result is creamy, bright, sweet and has some appealing earthiness from the carrot. I will certainly make it again.

This smoothie is AMAZING! I just got a vitamix for Christmas and this is one of the first things I made. Even made my own almond milk to put in it. Getting ready to make it for the third time. Thanks for the delicious recipe! xoxo

Very good. I took out the banana and added a little agave. Tasty and quite refreshing.

I made this it is tasty! I did not Strain the carrots, I would probably add ice next time to make it colder, or I froze the other half of pineapple so that will make it colder next time also, used fresh ginger & tumeric, should have grated tumeric because I had chunks of it!

Oh- I forgot to add, also don’t strain the carrots- just throw into my vitamix for blending and it’s perfect! Save the extra carrot juice for a few more glasses before starting a fresh batch :)

Didn’t have pineapple but made it work somehow with cinnamon, garlic and chilly salt(to augment the flavour) .

Taste great! Im not a big fan of the taste of carrot juice. I halfed the recipe and substituted coconut milk instead of almond. I also added 1 tbsp of chia seeds and a splash of oj. It tastes wonderful, i couldnt taste the carrots at all (yay!)

Whoa…. this was amazing. Thank you!! ?

Made this but with mango instead of pineapple. So good.

We loved this smoothie. Due to time constraints we used store-bought carrot juice – we added an extra frozen banana and one clove of frozen garlic. We substituted for milk for the almond milk. Going to try it again tonight with a little more garlic. I can’t believe how healthy it tasted but also delicious .

Hi Dana – THANK YOU! I was searching for a simple smoothie recipe that would help with my mothers chemo side effect (Nausea) – this is perfect! Not only did it taste good, it was super easy to make (I opted for pre made organic carrot juice) and tossed in an extra 1/2 of a banana (for extra potassium).
Very, VERY tasty!

Just made this (2 bananas instead of 1) and oh my goodness, I found myself trying to get every last drop in my mouth!! It will definitely be made more and shared! Super delicious!! Thank you for your wonderful recipe!

Dana, this is a delicious smoothie. I just made it and I missed the step where you suggest straining the carrot juice. In the smoothie, the pulp gives it a bit more thickness that I like without being chewy. I also added a dash of black pepper to help my body absorb the turmeric. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

This is honestly amazing! Added some coconut and it was super delicious!

This smoothie was so unique and packed with flavor! I don’t know if I would have made this if I didn’t have fresh turmeric root that I wanted to use, but I’m so glad I did! Will definitely make this again.

This was absolutely delicious! It has become my favorite way to incorporate turmeric into my diet. I made the carrot juice first but didn’t bother straining and then just added everything else to the Vitamix. I also added a pinch of black pepper to increase the absorbability of the curcumin in the turmeric. Thanks for the great recipe!

Loved it

I loved it. I added honey and replaced pineapple for oranges. Very tasty

This smoothie was so tasty and pleasant to drink for breakfast. I used store bought organic carrot juice instead of making my own, and used strawberries instead of pineapple since I didn’t have any at home! I will definitely be making this again :)

Dana, this is amazing! I’ve just had this for dessert, having just done a 30-minute Pilates session (that was my first in well over a year due to various injuries and recovering very slowly from major shoulder surgery…), and this sat very well with me indeed. I was first introduced to carrot and turmeric juice when out in the Malaysian jungle 3 years ago, doing a study on endangered spiders, and fell in love, but, even as a smoothie fan, never thought to put these orange wonders into a smoothie. What a wonderful idea! I sadly can’t have citrus or pineapple, but it still tasted wonderful without: I added cinnamon as well as the turmeric. I think that this will become a staple with me. :)

P.S. Love your sense of humour! “Anti-inflammatory badass” describes this wonder juice exactly!

030219 – i made this smoothie, and it was great. i substituted the almond milk with canned (thick and creamy) coconut milk. frozen pineapples took a bit to churn and not too sweet. all and all a good recipe. i substituted the cinnamon w/turmeric water from previously boiled turmeric.

This smoothie was delicious. Well worth the effort to make my own carrot juice instead of store bought. My son and I have just enjoyed a glass and it was really very Very good. I will definitely be making this smoothie regularly. Thank you

OMG this is delicious! Creamy and decadent with some spicy warmth, it almost tastes like a dessert to me. Yum! I used unsweetened vanilla oat milk instead of almond milk, and threw in some hemp hearts, ground flax seeds and a bit of black pepper and it was amazing. Thanks for another great recipe Dana!

5 stars!

This has a very interesting and mildly addicting flavor. In other words, I love it! The sweet pineapple balances out the turmeric flavor quite nicely. My kids even like it, which is shocking. I used a pinky of fresh tumeric root in place of the ground turmeric. Will definitely be making this part of my smoothie rotation. Thank you!

This smoothie was so amazing I made it for me and my husband this morning. We both loved it!

The carrot smoothie I made this morning had an orange, cashews, spinach, carrots and ginger and water/ice. Thank you for the inspiration!

THANK you so much for sharing this fantastic recipe . Healthy and tasty !

I am a smoothie afficianado, and this is my favorite smoothie EVER!! It wins in all categories: taste, texture, healthy-ness, and how it made me feel afterward! Thanks for this clever twist on Orange Julius!!

I wasn’t sure how the ingredients would work together but they were delicious! Great combo! I have been looking more ways to eat ginger and turmeric so this definitely fit the bill! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

Another winner!! I used mango instead of pineapple (that’s all I had on hand) and used my Vitamix to make the carrot juice before adding the other ingredients so I didn’t have to dirty up a ton of equipment. So so so good!!!

Delicious! My family love me again… after too many failed attempts at more “challenging” veggie smoothies. This beauty is going to give them their faith back.. and I’m loving the ginger and turmeric with lemon! The juice was so easy to make, and I just made a litre or so to used throughout the week. I ran out of almond milk and doubled up on the carrot juice another time and it was still delicious, although the creaminess of adding the milk is so nice! I used a knob of fresh turmeric by the way, I wonder if it makes much of a difference (nutritionally speaking) over the dried? Another great recipe! Thanks again!

I didn’t have pineapple and I only used half a banana to cut back on sugar, so I ended up with juice instead of a smoothie and it was delicious! Starts out sweet and finishes with a kick, thanks to the ginger! Love it.

Wow! This is delicious! First time ever using carrot juice in anything! This recipe I will be going back to for my smoothies! Thank you for the recipe ?

I come back to this amazing carrot tumeric ginger smoothie time and time again! Love and highly recommend for those looking for a clean break.

I used less almond milk than prescribed for more of a juice than smoothie.

Delicious and surprisingly very sweet! My parter and I both loved this one. It’ll become a regular. Thanks Dana :))

This is delicious, but there’s no need to make the carrot juice separately. Just grate enough carrots to loosely fill half a cup, then add water to fill completely. I also used 2 tablespoons of chopped crystallized ginger instead of fresh ginger. With crystallized ginger and almond milk, this recipe is 2 Weight Watchers points for the whole thing.

Used this as inspiration for one of our smoothies (I run a smoothie bar and was looking for a good cold-defense smoothie) instead of carrot juice, I used steamed then frozen carrot chunks, made fresh squeezed orange-turmeric juice, and added some mango. So. Stinking. Good. Thanks for being awesome; all of my girls refer to your blog as my bible, because I am always referring to your recipes for inspiration (or making meals from your e-book at home).

If you’re going to the trouble of making carrot juice, you should really make your own almond milk (the store-bought is a rip off with only about a handful of almonds and lots of junk like sweeteners added). I’ve also read that turmeric is more readily absorbed with some fat and/or black pepper. I add either organic plain yogurt or some coconut oil to mine.

This smoothie was great! I used coconut milk instead of almond milk. Definitely going into my rotation!

After fighting some sort of a cold/flu thing for a month I decided to up my turmeric, veg and fruit intake. As I had no pineapple but had frozen mango I substituted the pineapple with some frozen mango and half an orange. Also doubled the turmeric in a single serving and it is delicious ! Thank you for the recipe :)

Add a dash of fresh ground black pepper to boost the turmeric benefits.

just made a smoothie based on your recipe, but i used my own home grown Parisienne carrots including the leaves (didn’t juice the carrots just blended them realy fine) and added a chili pepper just to give it a kick, i have a bad cold and this should help me get better – kill or cure :-)
love the tumeric powder in it, would never think to use dried spices

I’ve recently gotten addicted to this smoothie! I make it with coconut milk instead of almond milk, which adds even more tropical taste. So yummy, thank you!

Just tried this today and it is phenomenal! My SO and I make smoothies every morning and I HATE when he puts carrots in mine. This smoothie was my compromise and oh my goodness it is incredible. I am more than happy to drink my carrots today.

OMG, I am drinking this right now and it is SO delicious and refreshing! I used a juicer to make the carrot juice, and made a little extra for tomorrow, or maybe later I’ll make another-yum! The ginger adds such a nice kick. Thanks so much!

Refreshing and delicious, I might try to find some fresh numeric next time. My baby girl (9months) loved it too. Thanks for the great recipe!

Just made this for the first time today. I’m no juicing expert, just starting really, and it was easy and it is SO good. I even did the carrot juice part, but dropped half the towel in the juice. Ha. :) Seriously delicious, thank you!

Yummy! So delicious! I was too lazy to make carrot juice so I just put half a carrot. And used turmeric powder since the grocery didn’t have. Also added coconut water for more liquid since I didn’t use carrot juice! Still turned out fab!

Thank you for this recipe. I have made it several times and I love it. I throw the carrots into the blender with the smoothie so I can get the fiber, and because I’m lazy.

I tried this tonight. What a boost! Easy, tasty, healthy, and energizing. I should not have prepared it so close to bedtime, but now I know.

I have been making this ALOT! It reminds me of an orange Julius!! I sometimes buy fresh squeezed carrot juice, rather than making it. I use fresh fruit rather than frozen. I LOVE adding turmeric wherever I can.
Best smoothie ever!
Thank you!

Been making this for the past few mornings to help with my Mum’s cold. I’ve been omitting the milk and adding more carrot juice, it’s delish!
