Delicious Orange-Carrot-Ginger Smoothie Recipe

I usually don’t add starchy vegetables, such as carrots, to my smoothies. And I rarely make smoothies that don’t contain any greens (green smoothies are my favorites!).

This carrot-ginger smoothie recipe is one of the few exceptions, and it’s delicious!

This depletes calcium reserves in the body, including the bones, so the benefit of dietary intake of calcium from animal products is cancelled.
