Steps

In a blender, combine the chopped apple, banana, carrot, and halved grapes.
Add the butter if using, and pour in the water or coconut water.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, adding ice cubes if desired for a colder drink.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a little honey or agave syrup.
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!

Tips for Asian Fruit & Carrot Smoothie

A smooth, pourable texture with no visible carrot flecks is a good cue; very fibrous carrots may leave a little texture.
Use a blender with a sturdy jar and tamper if available; pause to scrape down fruit that sticks above the blades.
For a thicker, colder smoothie, chill the fruit beforehand rather than relying on lots of ice, which can dilute the flavor.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. Keep any leftover covered in the refrigerator and drink within 24 hours; shake or stir well before serving, as it may separate.
