    You can have one of these smoothies for breakfast on its own and get plenty of nutrients. However, you can also pair your smoothie with a tasty muffin, breakfast bar, or slice of toast to really get your morning off to a full start!

    How to Make Carrot Cake Smoothie

    1. Blend together all ingredients in a blender.
    2. Add a few ice cubes if desired.
    3. Serve in a tall glass.

    Full directions for how to make Carrot Cake Smoothie are in the printable recipe card below.

    Carrot Cake Smoothie FAQs

    Do I have to put pineapple in my smoothie?

    I know that pineapple isn't a componenet of all carrot cake recipes, but the carrot cakes I like the most were always those that included it. But if you're not a fan of the pineapple, you can simply omit it from your smoothie and it will still taste delicious!

    Similarly, you can omit the coconut and walnuts if you’re not a fan. The coconut is pretty typical of carrot cakes, and the walnuts add Omega-3s and more protein. But the beauty of making this smoothie yourself is that you can adjust it to suit your own personal taste!

    Can I store leftover smoothie?

    This smooothie is best eaten right away, but you could store it in the fridge up to 3 days if you needed to. The flavor and texture won't be quite the same as when fresh, and I would recommend re-blending the smoothie right before eating again.
