This Carrot Cake Smoothie recipe is filled with carrots, but it tastes like dessert! Delicious and creamy smoothies are a perfect sweet treat any time of year, and this one doubles as breakfast. This bright orange smoothie has lots of yummy warm spices to play up the sweetness in the carrots. It also has a big scoop of JOI plant base to add extra creaminess. By freezing your carrots and banana you eliminate the need for ice which makes this smoothie even creamier!
For this light smoothie version of carrot cake, we’re swapping that cream cheese icing for a delicious coconut whipped cream and a dusting of shredded coconut. It adds extra sweetness and makes it feel like a super special treat!

(we're looking at you, keto diet).
