Carrot Cake Smoothie Recipe

Now, for the healthy smoothie version of this cake, cream cheese is replaced with banana and Greek yogurt. 

Bananas are full of pectin, which gives the jelly-like stability in jams. It’s also filled with potassium, a very important electrolyte.

Greek yogurt contributes creaminess and a mild tartness– two distinct features of cream cheese. It also gives you healthy probiotics for better digestion and overall gut health.

The combination of these two is a healthy cream substitute for vegans and for those health buffs. 

Meanwhile, carrots are good for the eyes as they contain beta carotene– a precursor of vitamin A and fiber. They’re also a well-known weight-loss food. 

This Carrot Cake Smoothie Recipe is sure to have all these amazing health benefits.
