Carrot Cake Smoothie! This healthy smoothie is made with fresh fruit, veggies, oats and a touch of almond butter. This satisfying smoothie is flavorful, hearty and not overly sweet.

Plus, this carrot cake smoothie is made without banana, which means this smoothie really tastes like carrot cake!

This carrot smoothie is a bit different than others I have featured on ZK. It’s a touch thicker and not as sweet—this smoothie is for the adventurous. I love it because it truly tastes like carrot cake. If you want it sweeter swap out the frozen mango for frozen pineapple chunks or increase the maple syrup by just a bit.
