Hey another smoothie recipe sharing with you guys 🙂 Cause it’s summer (well all year round in SG…. but right now in Europe:) and there’s a huge heat wave, so this kind of brekkie is ideal to share with my caucasian friends 🙂 And also because kids love smoothies and I have found it is a really good way to have them eat whole fruits and even veggies, without even noticing it. I love cold pressed juices and we have a great juicer at home, but I usually prefer making Smoothies for them from a nutritional standpoint. If you add some seeds, plant milk it becomes a 100% balanced snack for them and they won’t ask for another cookie or chocolate square after a nutritious smoothie, trust me 🙂

The trick with this one is the use of raw carrots, spices, oats and a little mango to get the same kind of flavor as carrot cake and that super pretty orange colour 🙂

5 min recipe just below so you can try and share your thoughts with me 🙂

INGREDIENTS FOR 2 SERVES

• 3 raw carrots, washed peeled and cut
• 3/4 cup GF oats
• 1/3 cup ripe frozen mango (chopped)
• 1 cup almond milk
• Optional 1,5 Tbsp plant based protein powder
• 1,5 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla bean extract
• 1/3 to 1/2 tsp turmeric (to taste)
• Pinch of nutmeg
• 2/3 to 1 cup ice cubes (until you get the desired consistency)
• Optional: 1 large soft date (if you have a sweet tooth 🙂

Blend everything in your high speed blender (I have a thermomix) gradually increasing the speed. Add the ice cubes until you get the texture you like. You can either drink it or eat it as a smoothie bowl (thicker consistency in that case). If you have a smoothie bowl, dust with a little more cinnamon, some chopped walnuts, a few raisins and shredded coconut and enjoy 🙂

Nb: can be prepared the day before. You will probably need to add a little more water or milk if you have it the next day as oats will make it thicken overnight.
