Sunshine Carrot Juice Smoothie with Ginger and Lime

When you need a pick-me-up, this Sunshine Carrot Juice Smoothie is the right call. It’s named sunshine because it’s bright, tangy and it makes you feel like your drinking sunshine! If you’re a fan of limeade, this juice smoothie will delight you with a blend of fresh ginger syrup, lime juice, carrot juice, frozen bananas and a dash of turmeric.

Smoothie overhead

We drink a lot of carrot juice.

At first I didn’t like it, but the flavor grew on me and it make me feel really healthy to drink it. So I made it part of my mid-morning snack routine.

Carrot juice is really sweet on its own and creates a great juice based smoothie. I’ve balanced out sweetness with plenty of tangy lime juice.

This Sunshine Carrot Juice Smoothie will wake you up, put a spring in your step and get your day off to a great start!

And if carrots are your thing, don’t miss this Apple, Carrot + Raisin Oatmeal!

Sunshine Juice Smoothie Overhead

This juice smoothie does require a little prep work, that is making a quick ginger syrup. Don’t worry it can be made in advance. Sometimes I even freeze the whole smoothie into little popsicles cubes for a summer treat – so many good uses for these large cube trays.


What you’ll need to make this smoothie:

  • carrot juice
  • fresh ginger
  • dates
  • banana
  • lime
  • turmeric

NOTE: If you let this juice smoothie sit, it will separate after awhile – so grab your straw and drink up! 

How to make chia pudding from this smoothie:

  • Save the banana to add after the pudding has been refrigerated
  • Make the rest of recipe as listed, stirring in 1/4 cup chia seeds after blending.
  • Transfer to glasses + refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Stirring occasionally to distribute chia.
  • Top with chopped banana and serve.
