Carrot Cake Smoothie with Sweet Lemon Cashew Cream

July 29, 2016 By Carrots and Flowers

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!

    You mention chia seeds but they aren’t in the list of ingredients. It looks delicious though, I must try this with or without chia seeds.

    I made this for breakfast and wow, it’s fabulous!!! I swapped out the agave for pure maple syrup and used macadamia nuts instead of cashews, and added a small chunk of ginger as well. The lemon cream is so scrumptious I could have eaten it all right out of the blender, lol! Thanks for the recipe!
