Name: Carrot Cake Smoothie
Ingredients: 2-3 carrots - roughly chopped; 1 heaping cup frozen cauliflower; 1/2 avocado; 1/2 tbsp cinnamon; 1 small piece of ginger (about 1/2 tsp worth); 1-2 softened dates; 1 frozen banana; 1 tbsp almond butter (or sub another nut or seed butter); 1 tbsp chia seeds; 1 tbsp hemp seeds; 1 tbsp flax seeds; 1 tbsp cacao; 2 servings vanilla protein (I like Sprout Living use code Avocadoskillet20 for 20% off); 1- 1 1/2 cups water

My hormones have been a little whacky since I got my second covid shot. I've been looking into holistic remedies and one of the things I found is raw carrots. So, I have been making this carrot cake smoothie 1-2 times a week.

This carrot cake smoothie is full of good for you ingredients and will keep you full for hours. I pack my smoothies with healthy fats like avocado and seeds. The seeds also have hormone balancing properties and natural protein. I always top my smoothies with granola for extra protein and crunch.

Everytime I make a smoothie I make 2 servings so I can streamline the next days breakfast. Feel free to cut the ingredients in half if you don't want to make more than one serving.

What protein powder do I use?

I have tried at least 10 different protein powders and my favorite is <a href="https://go.sproutliving.com/avocado-skillet">Sprout Living</a>. I get the vanilla lucuma but all of the flavors are good! I love this one because it is a complete protein source with no fillers or gums. They also use things like real vanilla or cacao so the protein doesn’t taste like chemicals. Go <a href="https://go.sproutliving.com/avocado-skillet">here</a> to purchase and use code avocadoskillet20 for 20% off!

How to store the extra smoothie?

Making a double batch of smoothie is a game changer. I store the extra smoothie in a mason jar in my fridge overnight. You can also freeze the smoothie in a mason jar and thaw it out when you are ready to eat it.
