Food Works Carrot Orange Smoothie
"Carrots and oranges go together like... well, carrots and oranges. They're an amazing pair. Hide the nutrition in carrots by blending them up with sweet mandarin and vanilla for a snack high in beta-carotene. <br> OPTIONAL: Freeze peeled bananas to use instead of ripe ones for a creamy treat!"
