There's not much that can beat a good homemade smoothie. Unlike juice bar smoothies that are usually packed with strange ingredients and added sugars, homemade smoothies are 100% customizable and can be the perfect healthy indulgence.
Most days I have a smoothie for breakfast. They are quick to make and an easy way to get fruit, veggies, protein, and healthy fats in a portable form. I eat my smoothies with a spoon, which makes the health drink feel indulgent, almost like a bowl of ice cream.
My favorite blend of the moment combines the natural sweetness of carrots and bananas with the richness of almond butter and warmth of cinnamon for an absolutely delicious fall morning treat. Maca gives you a little boost of energy and the protein means this smoothie will keep you full for hours. Seriously, this drink is the bomb! And so so so easy to make - just a few seconds in a blender and you are done.
Carrot Cake Protein Smoothie
Ingredients:

-1/4 cup carrot juice
-1 banana
-1 tsp maca
-1 TBSP almond butter
-dash of cinnamon
-1 scoop plain or vanilla protein powder (I have been using Perfect Fit Vanilla protein)
-Stevia to taste (I like Truvia and have found that 1/2 an individual packet works for me. Omit or adjust depending on your preference. I'm sure maple syrup would also taste great)
Directions:
Add all ingredients to your blender and pulse until well combined. Enjoy!
