Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter

Spices and Sweetener

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, to taste)

Optional

  • Ice cubes (optional, to reach desired thickness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including chopped carrots, frozen banana, almond milk, almond butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and optional maple syrup and ice cubes.
  2. Blend Smoothie Base: Add the chopped carrots, frozen banana, almond milk, almond butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any chunks.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie, then add maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink. Blend briefly again to mix the syrup evenly.
  4. Adjust Thickness: If you want a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again until you achieve your desired consistency.
  5. Serve: Pour the smooth carrot cake smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest texture.
  • Frozen banana helps create creaminess; fresh banana can be used but may result in a less thick smoothie.
  • Maple syrup is optional; the natural sweetness from banana and carrots may be sufficient.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk or dairy milk depending on preference.
  • For added protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
  • Adjust spices to taste—for a spicier kick, add a pinch of ginger or cloves.
