Creamy Carrot Cake Smoothie

Ingredients:

  • 1 frozen banana

  • 1 carrot, chopped

  • 1 pitted date (optional; soak if dry)

  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp fresh minced or grated ginger (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)

  • 1 healthy pinch ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 – 1 cup dairy-free milk

Instructions:

  • Add banana, carrot, date (optional), cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, nutmeg, and dairy-free milk (starting with the lesser amount) to a high-speed blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Add more dairy-free milk as needed to thin.

  • Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more cinnamon for warmth, ginger for spice / kick, or date for sweetness.

  • Best when fresh. Will keep in the freezer up to 1 month (thaw before enjoying).

  • Top with shredded coconut, shredded carrots, or chopped walnut if you like.

  • Throw in a scoop of protein powder for a filling post-workout treat. Yum!
