Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of your milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup frozen flavored creamer cube (see instructions below and substitution option)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen carrots
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseed

Optional Add-ins:

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (make it a high-protein shake)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (for fiber and protein with a thick/malty consistency)
  • 1/2 cup sweet potato (cooked and frozen, nutrient-dense ingredient that adds a subtle sweetness and extra thickness for a decadent, cake batter consistency)

Instructions
 

  • Start by pouring the liquid into your blender.
  • Next, toss in the add-ins of your choice.
  • Add the solids and frozen ingredients last.
  • Hit that button and blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add more liquid and continue blending to achieve your desired consistency. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Notes

 
Liquid Base: Use oat, soy, or dairy milk for a rich and creamy consistency, or almond milk for a slightly lighter consistency with a nutty taste. Dairy or soy milk also provides the highest amount of protein. 
Frozen Creamer Cube: Follow these instructions to make the flavored creamer cubes, or skip them altogether by using the substitute ingredients
  • Combine 2 cups of your preferred milk with 2 tsp of cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and 1 tbsp vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Pour evenly into a 1/2 cup Smootheeze silicone freezer tray and freeze overnight. The frozen cubes provide a nice frosty texture that’s extra thick and creamy. (Makes 4 servings) 
  • If not using the frozen creamer cube, add the following to your blender along with the main ingredients:
    • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
    • 1/2 tsp cardamom
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk as needed to achieve the desired consistency
