Creamy Carrot Smoothie Recipe

Baby carrots are one of my go-to snacks because they’re crunchy, sweet, easy to prepare, and of course, packed with nutrition! I can’t always finish a bag by myself, and my favorite way to make sure they don’t go to waste is by blending them up in a delicious smoothie - which is how this Creamy Carrot Smoothie was created. Although carrots are more commonly used in savory dishes, they pair beautifully with sweet ingredients for a nutritious and tasty dessert that can be enjoyed as a snack or meal.

This smoothie may taste like a slice of carrot cake, but it’s full of essential micro and macronutrients to support and balance your health. Carrots contain powerful plant compounds and are a source of beta carotene, which your body can then convert into vitamin A. With 17g of plant-based proteins and 10g of dietary fiber, this smoothie is a yummy treat that will fuel your body while satisfying your taste buds!

What You Need to Make this Smoothie

First, let’s review the ingredients that are in this recipe. I used 310 Organic Vanilla, unsweetened almond milk, carrots, frozen banana, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and ice. To save time, I used baby carrots, but you can use regular carrots too. Just make sure you peel them first!

There’s no better way to add flavor, sweetness, and nutrition than with a scoop of 310 Organic Vanilla!
