POWER GOLD SMOOTHIE

Makes 4 (10 oz.) servings

Ingredients
• 2 cups chopped of grated carrots*
• 1½ cups pineapple juice
• 3 Tbsp. honey
• 3-4 ice cubes
• ½ cup vanilla nonfat yogurt


Directions
Place only chopped or grated carrots in blender and turn on high. Through lid, slowly drizzle in about 2 to 3 Tbsp. of the pineapple juice, allowing carrots to be pureed until smooth.

Slowly pour in remaining juice with honey. Allow to blend until smooth and somewhat frothy; then with blender on high, add ice cubes. Blend until ice cubes are blended smooth. Stop blender, add yogurt, return lid and blend until mixed.

Poor into chilled glasses and enjoy!

*Chef's Note: Using raw carrots in this smoothie will produce a unique texture. If smoother consistency is desired, microwave the grated carrot with 1 Tbsp. water in a covered microwave dish on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Proceed as above.
