Raw Vegan Carrot Cake Smoothie Recipe

I have always loved carrot cake but only as a special treat! Now I can have my cake and eat it too… Smoothies are the perfect way to recreate healthy desserts. This carrot cake smoothie always hits the spot.

This is designed to be a raw recipe, however, if you are not 100% raw, this recipe can be made with cooked carrots as well.

There is nothing better than finding creative ways to “rawify” or make a healthier version of our favorite flavor profiles. An important part of a diet and lifestyle change is finding things that are reminiscent of the things that bring us joy. Take a look at my sweet potato pie smoothie and pecan pie smoothie recipes for other ideas.
