CREAMY, SWEET, VEGAN CARROT CAKE SMOOTHIE

I first had a carrot cake smoothie like this in Savannah, Georgia at a local smoothie bar there and fell in love. It was $10 (expensive for this gal), so I decided instead of regularly treating myself, I could easily make it at home since I keep most ingredients on hand. This dreamy smoothie is packed with Vitamin A, fiber, healthy fats, potassium, plant-based protein, and many more nutrients jam-packed into one glass.

The dreaminess of this smoothie is hard to put into words. It tastes like a true slice of carrot cake transformed into a a thick, creamy milkshake. The perfect treat, breakfast, snack, or just because, any time of day.

Mmmm…This smoothie is officially my favorite. It is sweet, creamy, and energizing. 🙂

Truly love this smoothie like me? To keep it easy to make all week long, juice an entire bag of large carrots and keep it in the fridge to grab for blending each day. It is WAY too much of a hassle to juice regularly. Don’t own a juicer? See if your local health food store could juice just carrots for you. Places like EarthFare or Whole Foods would be more than willing! Or, you can always try blending some shredded carrots and adding a little extra liquid to see how that works!
