Ingredients
  

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

1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped

1 ripe banana, frozen

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (or almond butter)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. If you haven't frozen the banana yet, peel and slice it, then place it in the freezer for about an hour.

    Blend Base Ingredients: In a blender, add the unsweetened almond milk, chopped carrot, frozen banana, rolled oats, and peanut or almond butter.

      Add Sweeteners and Spices: Next, add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the blender.

        Give it a Creamy Touch: If you prefer a creamier texture, add the Greek yogurt. This will enhance the smoothness of the smoothie.

          Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. If you like a thicker consistency, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.

            Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup or honey. Blend once more if you’ve added anything.

              Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. You can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a few oats, or even some finely grated carrot on top for texture.

                Enjoy: Sip your Spiced Carrot Cake Smoothie and relish the flavors of a classic carrot cake in a nutritious, refreshing drink!
