Just wanted to share this quick smoothie recipe with you. It was something I just threw together and well it turned out YUM so here it is….

Carrot Smoothie

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk.
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced.
  • 1/2 frozen banana.
  • 1 tbsp almond butter.
  • 1 tsp cinnamon.
  • Pinch of nutmeg.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
  • 1/4 tsp coconut butter or you could use coconut oil.
  • Raw honey/maple syrup for sweetening.
  • Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish).
Method:

Place all ingredients except for the toasted coconut flakes into a high-powered blender like a Vitamix and blend! If you’re using a regular blender then grate the carrot before adding it in. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top if you like.

Enjoy!

I just made this smoothie – Actually I’m drinking it while typing this post.

It’s been a while since I made a Green Smoothie, notice how I left the green part out of the title (aka the spinach). I didn’t want to scare you away with the word spinach, although you can’t taste it at all, it just gives the smoothie its pretty green colour. 🙂

Ingredients:
  • Handful of banana (I used frozen banana pieces that I had in the freezer).
  • Handful of spinach (you can use frozen or fresh).
  • 1.5 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice).
  • 5 dates (I used medjool – make sure you pit).
  • 1 tsp cinnamon.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds.
Method:

Place all ingredients into a high powered blender, starting off with the milk and blend!

There’s something about green smoothies – They really give you a big hit of energy just when you need it!
