Ingredients
  

1 cup grated carrots (approximately 2 medium-sized carrots)

1 ripe banana, frozen

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

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

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional Toppings: crushed walnuts, shredded coconut, or additional grated carrot for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by peeling the carrots and grating them until you have one full cup. If using a ripe banana, ensure you freeze it ahead of time to provide a creamy texture to your smoothie.

    Blend the Base: In a blender, add the grated carrots, frozen banana, rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup. Blend on medium speed to combine all the base ingredients.

      Add the Spices: Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor profile.

        Blend Until Smooth: Increase the blender speed to high and blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie appears too thick for your liking, add a splash of almond milk and blend again until it reaches your desired consistency.

          Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste the smoothie. If you prefer more sweetness, feel free to add a little extra maple syrup. Blend briefly to incorporate any additional ingredients.

            Serve: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass. For an extra touch, consider garnishing it with crushed walnuts, a sprinkle of shredded coconut, or a light dusting of cinnamon for additional flavor and visual appeal.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately and delight in the refreshing, wholesome goodness of your Spiced Carrot Cake Smoothie!
