Make this tasty raw smoothie either without fresh greens:

Or throw some fresh greens in to make it a refreshing Carrot Cake “Live Green Smoothie”:

If you enjoy Carrot Cake, you’ll like this raw smoothie!

Refreshing, mildly sweet, a little bit tart, quite creamy from blended raw macadamia nuts… made with carrots, apple, raisins, good vanilla, and a bit of parsley or spinach if you’d like to green it up. And add extra ice to make a creamy carrot-cake-flavored shake!

Recipe for: ”Carrot Cake” Live Green Smoothie Recipe

(With or Without Fresh Greens)

• 1 cup of fresh carrots (chopped for measurement)
• 1 apple (cored if you don’t have a high-powered blender, peeled if it’s not organic)
• 1/3 heaping cup raw macadamia nuts
• 1/3 heaping cup seedless raisins
• 1 cup fresh parsley or spinach (optional)
• 1 teaspoon quality vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon quality natural salt, such as Himalayan Crystal salt
• spring water to 32 oz.
• 1-3 cups ice

Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. I went several rounds with my Blendtec in order to get the macadamias nice and smooth, so if you have a low-powered blender be patient and use high-speed.

Vary the amount of ice based on what you want… use just one cup if you want a cool drink. Add up to 3 cups if you want a beverage that’s more like a shake.

Enjoy!
