Creamy Carrot Cake Smoothie

This turned out so so good! Pretty much followed the recipe exactly. I used pumpkin pie spice along with the ginger, and I added spinach and flax seeds. I didn’t need the date!

Yum! Just made this for a quick break fast and it’s awesome. I used a Vanilla Whey Protein powder and skipped the date. Didn’t have any ginger on hand but it still worked fine. Thanks, Dana!

This was so good! Made it as written with the optional date. Used unflavored pea protein. Will be making again…and again!

So yummy! My new favorite smoothie with Ka’Chava vanilla powder. No dates needed. Thank you! 😊

I made this smoothie tonight minus the ginger, added 2 dates, and and with almond milk instead. It was delicious!!! My boys lo Ed it too. I will be making this regularly!

This might be my new favourite smoothie: it’s creamy, flavourful and tastes like dessert.

I made the Creamy Carrot Cake Smoothie this morning and I loved it.
I had lots of fresh Ginger root that I’ve been needing to use up and I’m going to add just a little more to it tomorrow morning!!

Delicious recipe! It really tasted like liquid carrot cake. I wanted it to be a little spicier, so I added half of a clove, and it was the perfect amount for these proportions. Thank you so much :)

This is so delicious and healthy! We keep bananas in the freezer at any time, so this made the recipe so quick to make. It is so tasty that my 2-year-old ran off with it and wouldn’t give it back!
I have printed it off and will make this a regular. Will try grating a little fresh turmeric into next time for a bit of an additional immune boost :)
Thank you for making and posting this, I have shared it with friends already.

Love it. I used frozen mango instead of bananas (just cause I found that) and it came out so so good.

Umm yummmmmmm!! I made this using the following:

– Oatly oat milk
– 1.5 medjool dates
– powdered ginger
– no protien powder

Delicious!! Totally fixed my carrot cake craving :)

Thanks for the recipe.
Definitely not enough milk, added 1.5 cups.
Starchy texture wasn’t great.
Not my favourite unfortunately

I love this recipe! I keep minced frozen ginger on hand from Trader Joe’s and added three cubes. The only other modifications I made was adding some oats to thicken it up and some hemp hearts mixed in. This will be in my smoothie rotation from now on!

This is my go-to smoothie now, especially when I get loads of sweet, flavorful carrots in my CSA box (like right now–yay, spring veggies!). I always make sure to have frozen bananas (and I pre-chop and freeze the carrots too) and dates on hand, so I can whip it up anytime. I don’t always have fresh ginger, but I discovered that using a teaspoon of your “pumpkin spice” blend of spices (which I also love!) instead of the cinnamon/ginger/nutmeg ingredients is a super quick and equally delicious substitute. I’ve been blending it with a cup of pea milk mixed with a scoop of plain pea protein–you can’t taste anything weird when it’s all whizzed together with the carroty goodness (although it does make it a touch chalky). But it’s such a nice breakfast!

This was super quick to make and really tasty. I like how much it did taste like a moist carrot cake. I think next time I won’t add dates because my protein powder was sweet enough.

Delicious! Followed almost exactly but swapped the date for a small dash of pineapple juice (my favorite local bakery adds pineapple to their carrot cake and it’s incredible). This smoothie tastes SO GOOD and I’ll definitely be making it again soon!

Absolutely incredible. I skipped the sweetener, used half almond milk/half water instead of full milk, and used refrigerated the carrot instead of frozen banana. This is the perfect smoothie to satisfy my pesky sweet tooth while filling me up.

So good!!
My blender is the most powerful so I grated the carrot instead and it worked great

This was so easy to make and the consistency was perfect. I added flaxseed and spinach. I found the fresh ginger to be really overpowering. Next time I’ll halve the amount or use more of the other spices.

Absolutely delicious. I haven’t had carrot cake in a while so I can’t compare but I let someone had a small try who said it tasted exactly like carrot cake. I followed the recipe without the date and added half a scoop of vanilla protein powder. It had a nice tang and I will definitely be making again. I also omitted the vanilla.

So good!! I added spinach, used whole milk instead of plant based and substituted cloves because I didn’t have nutmeg. Just like carrot cake! My new go-to!!

Yum! I didn’t have protein power or dates so I omitted. Added some quick cooking oats to thicken it up.

I absolutely love this! It tastes like dessert, but is actually healthy. I left out the date because I found it sweet enough with the frozen banana. I roasted the carrot first which I think added to the sweetness. I also didn’t add protein powder. Will definitely be making this again!

I did not add vanilla extract, but it was absolutely delicious!

This was so good! It tasted just like carrot cake!

Love this smoothie thank you ❤️

I’m not a carrot cake fan, but I loved this!! The spice ratio is perfect and it’s not to sweet. I used dairy milk and unflavored whey protein powder and it turned out great!

Yummy, yummy, yummy!
I used .75 scoop MRM Veggie Protein with Superfoods and 1 cup Cashew Milk, and added .5c pineapple and dash of nutmeg to all the other ingredients (except the date). Then topped it with shredded coconut. Delicious!!!

Althought it didn’t taste a lot like carrot cake to me, I really loved this recipe, it’s freshness and flavour! Will try it again soon

Such a lovely smoothie! A really nice treat to end the day with as well. Fresh ginger is definitely worth it and provides a ‘warming’ feel to the smoothie.

I found the carrot cake flavor pretty subtle but it was still a lovely treat!

Loved this! I didn’t have dates but I used vegan vanilla protein powder and it sweetened it perfectly alongside the banana. No need for added sweeteners! The fresh ginger packed a punch and chia seeds and walnuts on top had a nice crunch.

I will say the taste of this smoothie was delicious! I’m not too sure if it tasted like carrot cake though. I used a caramel flavored premier protein shake instead of milk + protein powder. I don’t have dates so I added 10 grams of raisins. I blended everything in my nutribullet which is decent but I decided to strain out the pulp because I didn’t want to drink it (I ate it on its own though because it tasted great). The texture of the ground spices bothered me somewhat so I’m giving the recipe 4 stars for that but I would 100% make this or something like it again!

Amazing! Made it quite think with 2 dates and ate with a spoon as a healthy dessert

This was a great one, tastes just like a carrot cake!

Omg this does taste like carrot cake 🤤 great recipe like always!

This. Was. Awesome. Thank you for the recipe!

I just made this, and it’s legit carrot cake but without the sugar. I didn’t have orange carrots on hand so I put in a good scoop of turmeric and it’s so yummy! And, it’s perfect fall smoothie!

Just made this for breakfast – rich, indulgent, delicious!
Thank you Minimalist Baker!

Posting again so I could give it the five stars it deserves!

This was absolutely wonderful! I subbed about a teaspoon of agave nectar for the date and used 1 scoop of Trader Joe’s unflavored pea protein powder.

This is so good that I’ve made it twice! It really does taste like carrot cake! The only change I made was soaking the dried pitted date in hot (just off the boil) water from a tea kettle for the recommended 10-15 minutes. Your mileage will vary depending on the quality of your blender – mine’s a crappy cheap one.

Absolutely delicious and creamy! It tastes more like pumpkin pie than a carrot smoothie. I drink smoothies every morning, and will definitely add this to the daily rotation.

Absolutely love this recipe! Captures all the flavors of carrot cake.It’s a perfect afternoon snack. Feels like an indulgence but packed with healthy goodness.
I double the recipe and pour leftovers into a popsicle mold.

Thank you!

Unbelievably delicious.
Do not read any more reviews.
JUST MAKE IT ALREADY!

I didn’t have milk so I put in 1 cup of water and then a tablespoon of flax seeds and 1 tablespoon rolled oats , then rest of ingredients as listed. Blended in vita mix so was very smoothly blended. I added more water just because I needed more hydration today. Loved this new smoothie combination. Next time I’d probably put more fresh ginger and toss in pineapple if I have any on hand. Possibly would add coconut too.

SO GOOD! How? Few ingredients… Fantastic! The ginger really makes it!!! We are SO thankful for your talents! Spices are spot on! 10 stars!

This was delicious! I used the protein powder and a fresh banana because I didn’t have frozen handy. After that I followed the recipe exactly. It is great for breakfast if you are craving something dessert-like, which I was. Husband would only eat it for dessert 😉

Really delicious recipe! I had just run out of vanilla protein powder so added a TB of avocado to thicken. It was amazing! Added a TB of oats the second day. Very filling and decadent-tasting. Thank you for this! I will be making it on the regular!

This carrot cake smoothie is DELICIOUS!!! I made a few modifications due to lack of ingredients! I didn’t have cashew milk already made so I threw in raw cashews and water. Also no protein powder so I used rolled oats.

I’m drinking it right now and already want another one!!! YUM!

This is one of the most delicious smoothies I’ve ever had! I’ve been making it daily, it is SO SO good!!

I was excited to try carrots in a smoothie, as I’d never done so before! To aid my blender, I bought a bag of shredded carrots, which made the texture kind of gritty. I opted out of the date and used dried ginger, but the flavor was mainly banana, sadly. I don’t think I’d try it again :(

Really liked this :-) Left out the nutmeg, increased the cinnamon a bit, and added about 1/4 tsp of dried orange peel. I used sesame milk this time, but coconut milk sounds like it would be great, especially with shredded coconut as a garnish. Might try some soaked raisins instead of the date… will definitely be experimenting with this recipe! Thank you for sharing this :-)
By the way, has anyone noticed that when you increase the servings (box right under ‘prep time’), while the main ingredient list increases appropriately, anything in the description in parentheses does not? (for example, 1 banana = 1 and 1/4 cup, 2 bananas still = 1 and 1/4 cup, 3 bananas still = 1 and 1/4 cup, etc. Same with the vanilla and the ginger.) So if you are increasing, just make sure you are paying attention to the actual measurements and not the description.

I’ve had this smoothie 2 days in a row… Super yummy, the ginger is really yummy in this one!

I tried this smoothie and now i MUST have one each morning! So delicious and very satisfying. Since i do have atevia sweetened protien powder i omit the date and i add extra spice some mornings…dee-licious

Yum! This was a big hit. My eyes have been opened to carrots in smoothies now and they will not be closed! Thank you for this lovely idea. I added some collagen peptides instead of protein powder and garnished with coconut, pecans, and cacao nibs. Everyone loved it!

I really didn’t know what to expect out of this, but it is delicious. It’s simultaneously warm, refreshing, and creamy. I made it without protein powder and with a dollop of tahini, which I highly recommend. It’s pretty sweet with the date, not overly so but more like a dessert than a breakfast–I might try half a date next time.

Delicious – I love the little bit of heat from the ginger … used Bonsoy, left out the date and used 1/2 tbs vanilla pea protein powder that has a little stevia in it. Will definitely make this again. Thank you :)

Delicious and so easy! I made one double batch and my husband, daughter and I all shared and loved it. I didn’t have vegan protein powder so added a little maca and ashwaganda. Topped with raw pecans and shredded coconut.

This was quick and delicious. For my less powerful blender I grated the carrot and used a bit of maple syrup in place of the date. Will make this again for sure.

Delicious! I added buckwheat flakes and hemp seeds for some extra nutrition. Will definitely make this again and again… Ans again!

OMG!! Just made this and it is amazing!!! I added 1/4 oat flour soaked 1 h in almond milk for some fiber. I omitted the date and instead of topping it with coconut and walnuts I just added it into the blender. Will make it again many more times!! Thank you for this great recipe! I would give 6 stars if I could!

Okaaayyy hold up. Carrot cake for breakfast anyone?
Seriously, I’m the biggest carrot cake fan and this just hit the spot! I’ve been really watching eating refined sugars, so this is a perfect substitute.

I made it with almond milk and vanilla protein powder and didn’t add any vanilla extract. Delicious!

Criminally delicious. I immediately wanted to make seven more batches but I restrained myself.

Next time I might make it as a cocktail. Any recommendations for what kind of booze I should add?

I absolutely loved this recipe! I think next time i’ll make the consistency a little thicker and have it as a smoothie bowl with some toppings, delicious!

Just made this today! It like you knew I had some sad looking carrots in the fridge I needed to eat and a root canal done on my teeth. I needed soft food. Tastes good. I used some maple syrup for some extra sweetness and dried ginger.

It was good overall. I felt there was a little too much ginger and flavor, but that’s just my opinion. So to counter that, I just added some more almond milk.

Delicious!!! I made it with the optional protein powder and water – no milk. Perfectly yummy! Thank you very much.

When I saw this new recipe I was super intrigued to give it a try (and a little intimidated by putting carrots into a smoothie), but I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the result! I added some almond meal for thicker consistency, and used pumpkin pie spice instead of nutmeg. Refreshing, sweet, and comforting smoothie! A nice change from my usually mixed fruit smoothies.

Yum! This is a delicious smoothie and another great way to sneak veggies into dessert! I didn’t have ginger, so put in 1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice (omitted individual cinnamon and nutmeg), so a little different flavor, but still delish. I opted for 3/4 cup of coconut milk and it is so good and creamy. Thanks for the idea and recipe!

I needed a change of pace this morning and came across this recipe while looking up another. It was yummy – and smelled SO good! I added the date, but won’t next time – thought the banana made it plenty sweet. Hit the spot this morning.
