Carrot Cake Smoothie

October 26, 2023

This smoothie is a delightful blend of flavors that captures the essence of a classic dessert in a nutritious drink.

Start with your choice of milk, whether it's unsweetened almond, cashew, or coconut, to create a creamy base. Add in shredded carrots for that sweet and earthy flavor, along with a ripe banana to provide natural sweetness and a smooth texture.

For a boost of fiber and nutrition, incorporate flaxseed or psyllium husk. To infuse the richness of carrot cake, include cream cheese and a serving of vanilla, coconut, or salted caramel protein. A scoop of collagen powder can add extra nourishment to your smoothie.

For that frosty touch, blend in ice and optional frozen riced cauliflower. A pinch of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg round out the spices that make this smoothie taste just like carrot cake. It's a nutritious treat that you can enjoy any time of day. Savor the indulgence of a Carrot Cake Smoothie!

I love to top mine with unsweetened coconut flakes or a sprinkle of granola for that vital chewing. If you are not a cream cheese fan or are dairy sensitive, 1-2 T of almond or cashew butter works for your healthy fat.
