Coconut carrot smoothie is a treat for everyone, both adults and children. Carrots bring a dose of sweetness to this smoothie, as well as beta-carotene, vitamin C and fiber. Bananas are also full of fiber, as well as potassium, and cinnamon is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps with both complexion and regulating blood sugar. Adding walnuts to this smoothie, provides a dose of nutty sweetness and Omega-3s, as well as potent cancer-fighting compounds. You can round this healthy smoothie with some unsweetened coconut flakes and get a smoothie without any of those pesky refined sugars.
