How To Make a Healthy and Creamy Carrot Cake Smoothie
Step #1. Chill coconut milk in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. To prepare, 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 it to a mixing bowl. Reserve the remaining liquid coconut milk to use in the smoothie.
Step #2. Add maple syrup and orange zest, if desired, to a mixing bowl and blend until light and airy. Allow coconut cream to warm up slightly before blending if lumps persist. Cover and place the bowl in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step #3. Add the coconut milk and frozen banana to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth, around 30 seconds.
Step #4. Add celery, orange, raw carrots, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and ice cubes. Blend on high speed until completely combined and creamy. Do this for approximately 1-2 minutes.
Step #5. Pour into glasses and top with a scoop of coconut whipped cream. Garnish with a dash of cinnamon or finely chopped walnuts (for a nutty flavor), if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
