Vegan Sunrise Smoothie

Today I am sharing a recipe that I am calling Vegan Sunrise Smoothie.

Vegan Sunrise Smoothie

Drinking one of these makes me feel like I am on a beach someplace. It is chocked full of healthy plant-based ingredients: carrots, pomegranate, clementine, strawberries, banana, lemon, almond milk and chia seed.

The combination results in this lovely coral-y orange color that reminds me of a beautiful sunrise. Plus, I drink them for breakfast sometimes.

The flavor of this vegan sunrise smoothie is somewhat tart, which I happen to like very much. If it is too tart for you, feel free to throw in a date, some honey, or agave to sweeten it up. Or cut back on the lemon, if you wish.

I am not Vegan, but I do make it a point to cram as many plants into my day as possible. And I give myself bonus points if I can sneak a veggie into a smoothie. Most of the time I do that in the form of greens (kale and spinach are my faves).

But I wanted to stick with the lovely color palette I had going on, so I went with carrots for this one. And it works!

Also, with 2.5 times the daily recommended vitamin C (check out the full nutrition label in the recipe below), it can’t hurt to work a few of these in to ward off all of the sick germs floating around.

It’s funny – I used to never measure anything when I was making smoothies. Until I started writing smoothie recipes, that is! I used to just throw things in, press blend and hope for the best. I would taste and add things if needed.

So for this recipe, I measured in volume (cups, tablespoons, etc.) AND in weight (grams) on my digital food scale.  Hopefully this is helpful to those of you aiming for that perfect consistency.
