Carrot cake is one of my all time favorite flavors! Since I love smoothie bowls, I had to make a Carrot Cake Smoothie bowl recipe. I love this smoothie bowl because it tastes like a frozen treat, but is packed with fruits and veggies.
If you like carrot cake as much as I do, be sure to take a look at my Carrot Cake Muffins and Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal recipes.
Why I Love This Carrot Cake Smoothie Bowl:
- It takes less than 5 minutes to make
- It’s packed with fruits and vegetables
- It contains no added sugar
Ingredients:
Banana: Frozen banana is a key ingredient in this recipe. I recommend freezing the banana instead of using a raw banana. Frozen banana will gives the smoothie a texture and taste similar to ice cream.
Carrot: You can’t have a carrot cake smoothie, without carrot! I recommend slicing the carrot thinly using a vegetable peeler prior to blending. This will help the carrot blend evenly in the smoothie mixture.
Frozen Riced Cauliflower: This is one of my favorite additions to smoothies. The frozen riced cauliflower adds bulk to the smoothie and gives it a creamy texture, without adding flavor.
Shredded Coconut: You will need a handful of shredded coconut to make this recipe.
Dates: Dates taste so naturally sweet and give this recipe an extra bit of sweetness. Make sure to remove the pits from the dates prior to blending.
Almond Milk: Use store bought or make your own almond milk. You can substitute the almond milk with any unsweetened milk of your choice.
Spices: Cinnamon and nutmeg are used to add some sweet flavors and really make this smoothie bowl taste like a treat!
How to Make Carrot Cake Smoothie:
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the outside of the carrot and discard.
- Peel the rest of the carrot using a vegetable peeler. This cuts the carrots into thin ribbons and helps the carrot blend in the smoothie better.
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Place the smoothie in a bowl and top with toppings.
