Ingredients
  

1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped

1 frozen banana, chopped

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

2 tablespoons rolled oats

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for extra nutrition)

1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted (optional for crunch)

A pinch of salt

Ice cubes (for a thicker texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by peeling and chopping the carrot into small pieces to ensure it blends smoothly. If you haven’t done so, peel and chop the frozen banana for easy incorporation.

    Blend Base Ingredients: In a blender, add the chopped carrot, frozen banana, almond milk, and Greek yogurt. This will form the base of your smoothie.

      Add Spices & Sweetness: Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt. If you'd like a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup at this stage.

        Incorporate Oats and Seeds: Next, add the rolled oats and chia seeds to the blender for added fiber and thickness. They will also contribute to a smooth texture when blended.

          Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth. If your smoothie is too thick, you can add more almond milk to adjust the consistency.

            Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness or spices as desired. Want it sweeter? Add more honey or maple syrup. Need more spice? A dash more cinnamon or nutmeg could do the trick!

              Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and, if desired, top it with toasted walnuts or pecans for a crunchy garnish. You can also sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top for presentation.

                Enjoy: Grab a straw or a spoon and enjoy your Spiced Carrot Cake Smoothie—perfect for breakfast or a midday treat!
