Carrot cake smoothie
As the year winds down I think about what 2018 may bring. I truly would love to fast forward my life a few months but unfortunately I have to sit back and relax. On the meantime, I just have to keep planing and be positive and drink my carrot cake smoothie for now!
I truly can’t wait to announce all that it is to come for the blog in a few months. So excited to open that chapter of my life.
Anyways, I actually made this carrot cake smoothie a while back and never got to post the recipe in the blog or making it again for that matter, however, this morning, when I got up I had about 2 lbs of carrots sitting in the fridge that I didn’t know what to do with so I decided to make the smoothie.
The taste is out of this world. I actually doubled the batch and stored some in the fridge without the flaxseed meal since otherwise it becomes gel like. When we are ready to consume it we will add the flaxseed meal.
That is what happens when you add flaxseed meal to smoothies, it becomes gel like. Unless you are about to drink it right away I suggest to add it later.
I think this carrot cake smoothie mixture can also be frozen as popsicles. I think this summer I will actually do a batch and try it for the first time.
Anyways, I wanted to start with the healthy recipes for the blog. I know many of you go on a healthy diet/lifestyle the beginning of the year so I want to give you a few ideas.
I really hope you get to try this carrot cake smoothie. It has become one of my favorite smoothies to date. A great way to start the day.
Enjoy!
