This healthy and delicious carrot cake smoothie recipe tastes more like a decadent dessert than a nutritious way to start the day. The natural sweetness of the orange and carrots are balanced by a trio of complementary spices, while a spoonful of homemade coconut whipped cream serves as the perfect finishing touch.

Can You Use Frozen Vegetables to Make A Carrot Smoothie?
Believe it or not, you can use frozen veggies to make a carrot smoothie. In fact, vegetables that are frozen tend to retain more nutrients than what you would find in the produce section.
Using frozen vegetables also helps to give your smoothie a creamy consistency. Think of them as mini ice cubes!

These are some of the tools I use to create my carrot cake smoothie:

Can I Make this Recipe Into A Smoothie Bowl?

How to Make A Carrot Cake Smoothie
Chill coconut milk in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
To prepare coconut cream, remove the can from the refrigerator without shaking or turning and remove the lid. Scoop out the solidified “cream” from the top of the can and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Reserve remaining liquid coconut milk to use in a smoothie. Add maple syrup and orange zest, if desired, to the mixing bowl and blend until light and airy.
Allow coconut cream to warm up slightly before blending if lumps persist. Cover and place bowl in the refrigerator until ready to use.
To make the smoothie, add the coconut milk and frozen banana to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth, around 30 seconds. Add celery, orange, carrots, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed until completely combined and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Pour into glasses and top with a scoop of coconut whipped cream. Garnish with a dash of cinnamon or finely chopped walnuts, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
