I realize the offerings here of late are smoothie-heavy, and I'll feature more actual food soon. Recently I've made a shift with my veggie/fruit consumption, and I have smoothies to thank. Adding one or two smoothies a day makes it so much easier to reach my goal of 9 cups of veggies a day. Real food delivers nutrients so much more effectively and palpably than supplements. Since I'm learning so much about what works for me, I'm putting more energy and time into the blender, so solid food seems less inspiring right now.
Guys, this one's the best yet! Seriously dessert-worthy, it's a great way to start the day.
Carrot Cake Smoothie
2 large carrots
1 granny smith apple
2 Tbsp almond butter
1/4 c coconut milk
2 Tbsp raisins
Nutmeg to taste
Black pepper - a tiny bit
1-2 cups water/ice
I only used a cup of water here, and the smoothie turned out to be the consistency of pudding. You may want to add more water for a liquidy result. With no added sugar, this was sweet from the raisins and carrots already.
