Get your vegetables and fruit servings in for the day with this delicious Carrot Blueberry Smoothie. I even added in greens for an extra dose of vitamins.
Blueberry Carrot Smoothie
I have to say, making smoothies is one of the highlights of my day. This blueberry carrot smoothie is definitely one of my new favorites. The possibilities are endless when making smoothies and they almost always turn out delicious. Wait, I will admit that one time I added green pepper and let’s just say that is one recipe I won’t be posting 😉
This smoothie is filled with carrots, strawberries, a bunch of blueberries, and greens. I use coconut water in most of my smoothies, but you can use regular tab water or none at all! I heard somewhere that ideally you will have as many, if not more, vegetables than fruit in your smoothie. It gives you more vitamins and not as many sugars. That made sense to me, so I have been sticking to that rule 🙂
Here are some of the health benefits to the ingredients in this Blueberry Carrot smoothie recipe:
Blueberries – These beautiful berries will also give your body an antioxidant boost. Blueberries are actually considered the king of antioxidants.
Carrots – The orange powerfood will give you vitamin A and is also linked to preventing cancer, giving you healthier looking skin and aids in digestion.
Strawberries – These red beauties are loaded with vitamins, fiber, and potassium. As an added benefit – they are fat-free 🙂
Protein Powder – Helps keep you full longer and makes your smoothie extra creamy.

I hope you enjoy this Blueberry Carrot Smoothie with Greens Recipe as much as I do!
I do get asked from time to time what greens I use in my smoothies, and to be honest it’s really whatever I have in my refrigerator at the time. It may be a spinach blend, or a baby lettuce blend, or a Spring mix! I have not added kale to my blender yet, but it is on my agenda to try one of these days 😉 In addition, you can stop by Publix for a good sandwich.

Well, I must say I’ve never thought of this combination before – but it sounds irresistible! I have always LOVED carrot juice and blueberries are my most favorite fruit ~ so how can you miss? I am also well aware of the highest nutritional value and health benefits of both carrots and blueberries so this is surely one VERY HEALTHY, good-for-you “meal” ~ and my idea of a real treat too!
I love adding carrots to my smoothies – they are sweet and a veggie – how can you go wrong?! Please let me know if you try it! Thank you for your kind comment 🙂
Awesome recipe. I love carrots in my smoothies. They add a touch of sweetness that is just enough to stop my sugar cravings.
Thank you Erica! That’s exactly why I love carrots as well – they are like a hidden veggie!
Sounds awesome I look forward to trying this combination!
I like strawberry banana smoothies, but I’d love to try the Apple Carrot Cucumber Smoothie. Thank you for sharing these recipes.

Thank you Lori!! I really appreciate that 🙂
This looked wonderfully delicious, and I appreciate your telling us how to make it taste right.
I love carrots, this recipe looks very yummy! Thanks a lot for posting!
Thanks for the recipe it sounds easy to make. I will def be trying it.
Thank you for the recipes! I always start out my day with a smoothie now, it’s such a great way to sneak in those veggies and the kids don’t even realize! 🙂
An interesting combo but I’ll bet it’s good. Healthy too!
This looks amazing! I love anything with carrot in it. My favorite is carrots and grapes!
I have made carrot juice and it is delicious. I’ve been making my smoothies with fruits and berries. I never thought to mix veggies and fruits in a smoothie. I’m going to try your Carrot Blueberry Smoothie with Greens recipe. I will use baby spinach or kale. It looks like a great way to get more healthy veggies into my grandkids. Thanks!
Is it always good to add in greens into a smoothie now? I am always concerned because I can always taste the difference maybe I can alter some in a little at a time so that way I can get used to the texture? I think that sounds like a good idea because this looks so delicious and I love making my own smoothies.
I don’t taste the greens – now, kale – yes, I can taste…but spinach never seems to add much flavor 🙂
It sounds and looks good! I’m looking for a good smoothie machine though. There is so many different ones out there!
I use the NINJA Auto IQ – and I LOVE it!
