I’m in love with this smoothie, y’all! Isn’t it pretty?

Carrot cake has a deliciously complex flavor profile. I love the spices and the texture. And I mean… it’s made with carrots so it has to count for something healthy, right?! Though I love a good slice of carrot cake, this smoothie puts carrots in the spotlight and requires just a fraction of the time to make.

For this blend, I combine traditional carrot cake flavors with pineapple and coconut for a tropical twist. It comes together in just a few minutes and is honestly my favorite smoothie so far.

Somehow, I always end up with extra carrots in the fridge. This carrot cake smoothie is a tasty way to use them up. For another dessert-inspired smoothie, check out my Apple Pie Oat Smoothie recipe too!
