Pro tips

  • For an extra thick carrot cake smoothie, use frozen banana and pineapple. This also helps keep the bowl colder longer.
  • If you don’t have romaine, spinach is an excellent substitute and often provides a milder flavor in smoothies.
  • Adjust the spices to your preference; a little extra nutmeg or ginger can enhance the ‘cake’ flavor.
