Healthy Carrot, Apple & Ginger Smoothie – Dairy-Free & Vegan

This healthy and delicious carrot, apple, and ginger smoothie is one of our all-time favourites. It’s sweet, tangy, and tastes incredible. You can practically feel it nourishing your body as it goes down!

In this article – we share an easy and nutritious carrot, ginger, and apple smoothie that’s dairy-free and vegan-friendly.

Apples and carrots are cheap grocery staples for most of us, so the only thing you might need to buy especially is ginger. But never fear, we are kitchen minimalists at heart so anything in our cupboards needs to be multi-purpose.

We don’t do speciality, one-hit-wonder ingredients in the Blendery kitchen. Which, in the case of ginger, means we use it in a tonne of other smoothies, as well as healthy stir-fry, overnight oats, and medicinal tea. Oh, and deeelicious ginger bread, obviously.

We usually go for fresh root ginger, because 1) we use a lot of it and 2) we try to eat fresh stuff whenever possible. You can even grow your own, whether you have a garden or not!

That said, ground ginger tastes great too. And it gets bonus ‘practicality points’, since it’ll last for aaages in your cupboard, and blend just fine in a cheap and cheerful blender.

Try using fresh orange juice instead of water for an even more vitamin-packed result. Apple juice will also work really well (but it’s worth noting that both options add to the sugar content too).

Bonus Smoothie Tip

Root ginger and raw carrots can sometimes be a struggle for entry-level blenders, since both ingredients are hard and dense. High-powered blenders like a Blendtec or Nutribullet will have no issue at all – we’re pretty sure those things could blend diamonds! But if you’re blender does struggle, you could always try cooking and cooling the ginger or carrots to soften them first.
