carrot cake smoothie this recipe

As you may, or may not know, my husband and I work full time creating food videos for other bloggers and brands (you can see some of my work HERE). There are a few recipes that pretty much every single one of my clients has and has wanted a video of. Recipes such as energy/ date balls, overnight oats, AND carrot cake. I’ve done videos for SO many versions of carrot cake/ bread/ muffins.  Trust me, I’m not complaining!

Needless to say, I’ve had carrot cake on the brain and thought it would be fun to do what I do best: turn the recipe into a smoothie! Did you know that I have a FREE ebook filled with healthy smoothies!? You can get it HERE.

Carrot Cake Smoothie

There’s one thing you need to know about my smoothies though- they almost always have bananas in them. First of all, I just really love bananas. They’re cheap and so I always have them on hand. They freeze super easy which makes them nice to buy in big batches and throw in the freezer. Also, I love the creaminess that a frozen banana adds to a smoothie.

I was very shocked to find out that there are people who exist in the world that aren’t as into bananas as I am. I got a handful of people messaging me asking for smoothies WITHOUT bananas in them ? ? Don’t worry, there are a couple in the ebook that I linked above.

BUT this is not one of those smoothies. This one has banana in it and I think it really makes the smoothie!

Carrot Cake Smoothie

We have dates for sweetness (SUPER obsessed with dates right now!), carrot, and walnuts to give it that classic carrot cake taste. You could totally make this smoothie without the nuts if it’s not your thing.
