Health Food = Rabbit Food
Normally this is exactly the kind of stereotype I try to dispel on my blog. But today, I’m embracing it full-force:
A carrot cake milkshake!
A double carrot cake milkshake, as I topped it with my 5-Minute Single Serving Carrot Cake in a Mug recipe. Two carrot cakes are better than one.
Carrot Cake Milkshake
- 1 extremely-ripe, large banana (frozen)
- 2/3 cup milk of choice (For a rich, “ice cream”-like shake, use canned coconut milk. Also, use more or less, depending on desired thickness.)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- heaping 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 small carrot (50g or so)
- scant 1/16 tsp salt (to bring out sweetness)
- Optional: 1 tbsp Homemade Coconut Butter
Steam your carrot first, then blend all of the ingredients together in your blender, food processor, or even a Magic Bullet. (Note: This still tastes delicious if you just use almond milk as opposed to canned coconut milk. But it’s more of a carrot cake smoothie than a true milkshake.) I crumbled a healthy carrot cake in a mug on top.
Get your bunny friends together and eat rabbit food. Or don’t tell your bunny friends, and keep the rabbit food for yourself! ‘Cause if you’re anything like me, you have a lot of bunny friends. As a child, I collected rabbits, so I have about a million stuffed animals, figurines, and other such bunny toys. If I invited all of them to my carrot-cake parties, the non-bunny of the group (me) would never get a bite.

I made this milkshake today as an afternoon snack and it was absolutely delicious! 🙂
I am still looking for the Passover recipes. Sandy
I added a bit of cream cheese and seedless orange chunks to simulate adding icing to the top in the blender and my 3 y.o. said “it’s good like cupcakes” to me today. Yum.
I’m allergic to anything coconut — it makes me itch all over — what do I substitute for anything g coconut?
As it states in this recipe, the coconut is optional. However if you still want the richest results without coconut you can use cashew cream: https://lett-trim.today/2013/04/17/how-to-make-cashew-cream/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
I’m always looking for new recipes to share. Healthy Easter recipes are especially difficult to find it turns out. I’m gonna share this in a healthy easter class I’m teaching. Don’t worry, I’ll cite where I got it from. Thanks for the delicious recipe.
