Carrot Cake Smoothie

This morning I decided to take stock of the fruits and vegetables we have one hand. I glanced at the dining room table and took a mental snap shot of the apples, oranges, and plums in a bowl looking like a pretty still-life.

Walking over to the refrigerator, I opened the door and taking a good look inside, I spotted two bags of recently forgotten carrots. We just bought them last week with a plan to make fresh carrot juice every other day. Our intentions were good, but somehow we plain forgot about those carrots. [I blame it on our busy schedules].

I gave a considerable amount of thought about our forgotten root vegetable. It is a common staple in most kitchens and I think they might get taken for granted in most cases. Well, one of those bags of carrots got prepped for juicing just as intended. But, I wanted to do something extra special with the juice so I looked to a recipe I created last year. The humble carrot gets juiced and jazzed up in a delicious drink called Carrot Cake Smoothie. What a treat. It’s like liquid carrot cake in a glass.

To make larger servings, double, triple, etc., the ingredients as needed.

Prepare the walnut milk by blending 1 cup of walnuts with 2 cups filtered water. Strain the walnut milk through a nut bag or fine sieve. Run the carrots through a juicer. Add the walnut milk, carrot juice, and the remaining ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Cheers and enjoy!
