I have a secret to confess. Carrot cake is my weakness when it comes to dessert. It’s so easy to talk myself into having a slice (or three!) I mean, there are carrots in it, so it’s practically a salad right? RIGHT?!
Luckily, it’s pretty easy to make carrot cake healthy. It’s even easier if you throw everything into a blender and make a Carrot Cake Smoothie!
This is dessert for breakfast, my friends. What better way to start your day then with a perfectly spiced creamy Carrot Cake Smoothie topped with Sweet Lemon Cashew Cream?
This Carrot Cake Smoothie is a healthy breakfast option you can feel good about. Fresh carrots and carrot juice offer beta-carotene. Chia seeds lend fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids and pecans have over 19 vitamins and minerals! So what are you waiting for? Make this Carrot Cake Smoothie today!
