Ingredients
  

1 cup frozen carrots (steamed prior to freezing)

1 ripe banana

1/2 cup oat milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based alternative)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Toppings: 2 tablespoons granola, 1 tablespoon shredded coconut, 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts, a light dusting of cinnamon, and a few fresh carrot shavings for garnish.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: If you haven’t done so already, steam fresh carrots until they are tender, then allow them to cool and freeze until solid. If you have frozen carrots ready, ensure they have been steamed prior to freezing.

    Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen carrots, ripe banana, oat milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and maple syrup (if using).

      Blend Smoothly: Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. The final consistency should be thick yet pourable; if it’s overly thick, add a splash more oat milk to achieve your desired texture.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie bowl base and feel free to adjust the sweetness with more maple syrup or enhance the spices according to your preferences.

          Assemble the Bowl: Carefully pour the blended mixture into a bowl, creating a smooth surface.

            Add Toppings: Generously add your chosen toppings: sprinkle granola, shredded coconut, and chopped walnuts over the smoothie. Add a light dusting of cinnamon and garnish with fresh carrot shavings for a delightful touch.

              Serve and Enjoy: Grab a spoon, dig in, and savor the delicious flavors of carrot cake in this healthy and nutritious smoothie bowl.
