Mango Carrot Smoothie

Several weeks ago, I was browsing one of my favorite cooking stores, Sur La Table. I went there to get Popsicle molds but couldn't help looking at all the other fun cooking gadgets. Lo and behold, I spotted a juice extractor attachment for my Kitchen Aid Food Processor. I had no idea, they sold attachments for the food processor. Even better, it was on clearance! Fast forward to yesterday when I finally had a chance to use it. I was watching an episode of Everyday Food on PBS this weekend and saw these recipes using carrot juice. The attachment was very easy to use and produced a beautiful carrot juice for these smoothies and the carrot bread. My two pounds of carrots yielded 2 cups of juice. I can't wait to try juicing more fruits and vegetables with this attachment. This smoothie was really light and refreshing. I had it with my lunch but it would be great for breakfast or a snack.
