FAQ

Can I use raw carrots?

You can, but cooked carrots blend much smoother. Raw ones keep a little texture.

Can I make it without banana?

Yes. Add a few ice cubes and a spoon of yogurt to keep it creamy.

It’s better fresh, but it keeps a few hours in the fridge. Just shake or stir before drinking.
