The inspiration for this smoothie came to me on a cold winter morning when I was craving something warm and comforting. I had some leftover ginger and carrots in my fridge, and I thought, "Why not throw them in a smoothie?" I also had some plain yogurt and frozen banana on hand, so I added those as well. The result was a delicious and satisfying smoothie that warmed me up from the inside out.
