How to Make a Spiced Carrot Cake Smoothie

Apples, raisins, and carrots load this smoothie with fiber. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger spice things up with that fresh-baked flavor carrot-cake lovers crave. Bananas and your favorite plant-based milk keep this smoothie creamy and dairy-free.

Don’t forget, there’s more than one way to enjoy a smoothie. Adjust the ratio of liquid to solid ingredients for a thicker blend and make a smoothie bowl. Top with granola and plant-based whipped cream for a delicious dessert you won’t feel guilty enjoying.
