Coconut Carrot Cake Smoothie

This Coconut Carrot Cake Smoothie is a sweet and nutrition packed smoothie with beta carotene, potassium and calcium. If you need to add additional vegetables to your diet, this is a great way and makes an easy snack or breakfast.

Every healthy diet needs a little bit of a treat — and luckily, this treat is good for you! Carrots bring a dose of sweetness to smoothies, as well as beta-carotene, vitamin C and fiber. Bananas are also full of fiber, as well as potassium, and cinnamon is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps with both complexion and regulating blood sugar. Imagine walnuts as the “cake” part of this smoothie, providing a dose of nutty sweetness and Omega-3s, as well as potent cancer-fighting compounds. Round this healthy dessert out with some unsweetened coconut flakes, and get your dessert fix without any of those pesky refined sugars.

Ingredients:

• 5 oz carrots - chopped

• 1 banana - peeled

• 3 tbsp walnuts

• 1 tbsp coconut flakes

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 cup water

• 1 cup ice

Blend until smooth and enjoy.
