Sugarfree Carrots-Raisin-Ginger smoothie is a quick beverage that can be made in a couple of minutes. Carrots is an universal favourite while raisins are excellent both for kids and elders as a great dry fruit.
Ginger is added to this recipe to beat the acidity that accompanies most summer days, and lemon to give that acidity punch to the smoothie. I have also used Honey in place of sugar to make this a healthy and sugar free mocktail.
For older kids or elders, you may also add in a handful of roasted Oats (which I did) to make it more healthy and filling. With a dash of ginger and a twist of lime and served chilled, this is a perfect way to start your day at breakfast or for a quick beverage for kids back from school or the playground.
