I often make carrot juice for my kids as they like it and its a nice way to include carrots in their diet.While making this juice I got the idea of making smoothie along with some frozen banana.The smoothie came out so delicious and creamy,kids liked it a lot.Also the use of fresh orange juice makes this smoothie so tasty and refreshing.

- Add in orange juice and whip it for 10 seconds.Transfer it to a serving glass.
- Serve it right away.
- Serve it immediately,otherwise the color will change as it has banana.
- I didn't strain the carrot juice as it blends very well.If you want a clear juice then pass it through a strainer.
- A small piece of ginger and few mint leaves can also be added for extra flavor.
