This smoothie has all the best parts of carrot cake – carrots, walnuts, coconut, cinnamon, and spice – minus the dairy, gluten, and added sugars. There’s even dairy-free cream cheese to mimic that tang of cream cheese frosting!

The end result is sweet, nutty, smooth… it’s a treat that makes a healthy, filling breakfast but can just as easily double as dessert. This recipe is a perfect example of the beauty of protein shakes: they’re healthy multitaskers that fit at any meal.

So enjoy your carrot cake any time of the day and know you’re giving your body incredible nutrition and energy!
