Apple Carrot Cucumber Smoothie
You guys know that I love starting my day with a Smoothie. Making a smoothie is the perfect way to fuel my body with the vitamins and nutrients it needs in one quick meal. I have been trying lots of different smoothie recipes lately and I love sharing my favorites! Since apples are one of my favorite fruits, I decided that I should add some apples to in with my carrot cucumber smoothie.
I love that Crunch Pak Apples come ready to go! Literally all I have to do is open the bag, grab a handful and within seconds I am that much closer to drinking my smoothie. No need to wash or slice! Plus, they stay so fresh in the bag…I don’t know how they do it, but Crunch Pak apples are always so crisp and juicy whenever I bag a few from the bag. They never disappoint 🙂
In this smoothie I layered the carrots, cucumbers, strawberries, then my wonderful apples. The apples are sweet, ORGANIC, and delicious.
Here are some of the health benefits of the ingredients I selected for this carrot cucumber smoothie with apples recipe:
Apples – They are extremely high in antioxidants, fiber and flavanoids. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, so why not start adding them to your smoothies?
Carrots – Your mother knew what she was talking about when she told you carrots are good for your eyesight because she was right. The beta-carotene in carrots is transformed into vitamin A in your liver, and then travels to your retina and is converted to rhodopsin, which improves night vision. They are also a great source of vitamins A, C, and K.
Cucumbers – These are great for rehydration. Cucumbers are also a great source of vitamin B, so that means they are a natural pick-me-up.
Strawberries – These red beauties are loaded with vitamins, fiber, and potassium. As an added benefit – they are also fat free 🙂
Protein Powder – Helps keep you full longer and makes your smoothie extra creamy.
I have had the Ninja Nutri Auto IQ for a few years now and have absolutely no issues with it. That’s what I use to make all my smoothies, it’s easier to use, small, and I love that it’s a single serve cup so that it easily fits into the dishwasher when I’m done. The less clean up the better!
Don’t you just want to take a sip?

Ahhh, this one is much mroe in my land than the bacon apple recipe. Looks so colorful before and after blended. I have been thinking of ordering one of these NINJA blenders for the summer for my father as he loves blending drinks, but we only have an ancient and I think it’s broken now blender. 🙂
Wow. I would never have thought to put apples, carrots, and cucumbers together. It looks like it tastes great though, I’m gong to give this a try!
It’s fabulous! Make sure to let me know what you think!
Perfect for the WW plan!

Thanks so much for the delicious sounding recipe for Apple Carrot Cucumber Smoothie! I would really love to know what it tastes like. Is it a sweet taste? A plain taste? I would love to give this a try and I do have most of the ingredients at the moment (I have tiny carrots, cucumbers, strawberries, apples, I don’t have any powder yet, and I have juice and ice cubes and water) I just would love to know what the flavor is so that I know for sure that I want to make it! It sounds wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe of Apple Carrot Cucumber Smoothie with all of us! I know that I most definitely appreciate it! Thanks again! Michele 🙂
The apple-carrot combo sounds tasty, especially with the strawberries in it. I don’t like cucumbers at all, but I might try this with some kale.
I have yet to do kale in a smoothie – I may have to try it that way as well 🙂
I would like to try this tangy treat, it sounds delicious!
Did apple, cucumber, beetroot, banana smoothie. They taste great. All the family enjoyed it except one of them (that Always with different taste in what we try to explore 🤪 ). Thanks for sharing,I will keep on trying. 😊.
