This carrot and apple smoothie is creamy and has a light tropical flavor thanks to coconut milk. It’s naturally sweetened from the carrots and apple, and the combination of ginger and lemon juice adds just a bit of spice and helps balance the flavor. The turmeric, fresh or dried, gives the smoothie a vibrant bright orange color.
