Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup carrots chopped
- 1/2 cup pineapple frozen, chunks
- 1/2 cup almond milk, vanilla unsweetened
- 1/4 cup oats rolled
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup ice
- 1 Collagen Boost optional
Instructions
- Place carrots, pineapple, almond milk, rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Notes
- If you don't have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
- You can substitute another type of fruit, like apple or pear, for the pineapple or use a different type of milk, such as soy milk or coconut milk.
- To add more protein, you can include a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt.
