Instructions
- Blend carrot mixture: In a blender, combine the carrot, turmeric, and coconut water or orange juice. Blend until completely smooth and no carrot chunks remain, adding water if needed to thin the mixture. Pour this blend into a tall glass.

- Combine and serve: Pour the creamy banana mixture over the carrot blend in the glass and stir gently to create a swirl effect. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness.

- Soak nuts overnight to improve blendability and digestion.
- Add more coconut or almond milk if you prefer a thinner smoothie.
- Use frozen banana to add extra creaminess and coldness without needing ice.
- Substitute dates with maple syrup or honey if dates are unavailable.
- Ensure all ingredients are fresh to maximize nutritional benefits.
