Oats Carrot Smoothie-Carrot Oats Smoothie Recipe

Smoothies can also be made with vegetables and they can be as sweet and delicious as fruit smoothies. I tried making smoothie with oats and carrot and I loved it very much. It’s a great way to get the kids to eat vegetables and oats. As I have added oat and nuts to this smoothie, it is quite filling. When you are pressed for time, opt for healthy fruits or vegetable smoothie in the morning as it is a great way to kick start your day.
