Ingredients
  

1 cup of fresh carrots, chopped (approximately 2 medium carrots)

1 frozen banana

1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free yogurt alternative)

2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or honey if preferred)

1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger

1 tablespoon of chia seeds (optional, for extra nutrition)

A pinch of salt

A handful of ice cubes (optional, for a refreshing chill)

Toppings: Chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Carrots: Start by washing and peeling the carrots. Cut them into smaller pieces to ensure they blend easily and smoothly.

    Combine Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, add the chopped carrots, frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, chia seeds (if you're using them), and a pinch of salt.

      Add Ice: If you enjoy a chilled smoothie, throw in a handful of ice cubes to the blender.

        Blend to Perfection: Blend the mixture on high until it reaches a completely smooth and creamy consistency. Pause midway to scrape down any ingredients that may cling to the sides for an even blend.

          Taste and Customize: Give your smoothie a quick taste test! If you want it sweeter, feel free to add an extra splash of maple syrup or honey. Blend again to incorporate any adjustments.

            Serve with Style: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glasses. For an added touch, sprinkle with chopped walnuts, sprinkle shredded coconut, or an extra dusting of cinnamon.

              Savor the Flavor: Enjoy your Spiced Carrot Cake Smoothie immediately, reveling in its delightful and vibrant flavors!
