Carrot Cake Smoothie

Cake for breakfast? Almost. This recipe tastes exactly like carrot cake! Minus the flour and all.

Why It’s A Smart Choice

• How often do you eat veggies for breakfast? If you’re like most people, they don’t usually make an appearance. This is a great way to add one in!
• This recipe makes two servings. Each serving has about 15 g of protein!
• Walnuts are a true superfood. Eating a handful of nuts each day can help prevent heart disease. Walnuts, in particular, contain alpha linolenic acid, a type of omega 3 fatty acid, which is essential for healthy skin and eyes.
