Too Much Orange?

Nah... you can't have too much orange!

I have been juicing carrots and adding the juice to my smoothies... and it's a delicious combination!

Packed with vitamins and very sweet, I wonder why I hadn't thought of this idea before. And it makes me wonder what else I can juice to mix with my smoothies... probably anything!

I blended:
-1 lb of organic carrots (not peeled) - makes about 16oz of juice (i used about 8 oz in my smoothie)
-1 cup frozen blackberries
-1/2 cup frozen raspberries
-2 tablespoons flax seed
-splash of water to blend a little bit more

So delicious! Our whole family drank it down and our vision is 10 times better today (the last part isn't true but it could be... in time :-)

I did leave out my usual green ingredients because I have been trying to incorporate spinach into every dinner I serve. With that said I didn't want to over-do the spinach... my daughter is on a roll with it so I can't risk destroying that.
