The Carrot Cake Milkshake


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:

carrots

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.

  6. Emily says:

    I grew up with a ton of land and forest around me so whenever my dad and I would go for walks I would find an old glass bottle or some cool looking rock for what I called my “museum.” I think I still have everything in my parents’ basement!

  7. Cait @ Beyond Bananas says:

    Wow.. so simple. This will be consumed shortly!

  8. Molly @ Mollyrunsfresh says:

    So I’m totally making this for breakfast tomorrow… sounds delicious and I bet it tastes just as good as real carrot cake (shhh… don’t tell me grandma!).

  9. Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says:

    I never really collected Beanie Babies, but I did have a few 🙂 I always wanted the green bear with the white clover. I don’t know why, but I really wanted that one!

    Mmm, I love me some carrot cake. I haven’t tried any of your carrot cake recipes though, shame on me!
    I used to collect rocks, as well as a few other short-lived collections. Remember those gold-foil toffee candies? I had a whole shoebox of those wrappers for some reason. Something to do with “Golden tickets” I think.

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      I don’t know if I remember them… were they Werther’s brand? My grandma always carried Werthers toffees, and we liked to raid her purse!

      1. McKella says:

        I think they were Werthers…whatever they were, they were delicious and those gold wrappers made them that much more fun!
