Smoothie Saturday: Carrot Cake


The first time I saw this recipe I thought "Gross, carrot cake? In a smoothie?" Who wouldn't right? It just doesn't sound like a good idea!  However, after seeing the recipe a few more times I started to wonder how it would taste!  I do like carrot cake after all, and if you can put spinach in a smoothie why not carrots?!


Carrot Cake Protein Smoothie

1/2 Cup Frozen Banana or Pineapple
1 Cup Vanilla Almond Milk
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
3-4 Baby Carrots
Ice as needed

Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.  I like to blend my milk and smoothie mix first to make sure it gets mixed together well.  Then I add everything else and blend until it is milkshake thick.



The verdict? Lainey Approved!

It was actually very good!  Lainey kept climbing up and stealing sips, I think she drank more than I did!  The carrot/spice flavor wasn't over powering like I was expecting.  I think next time I may even try to add in some more carrots.  Sound good or too weird? Are you willing to try it out?
