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’m loving that you seem to be obsessed with all things carrot cake, like me! I’m making one for Easter Sunday and am loving this shake idea (smoothie in a bowl is my fave way to go). Keep it up with the carrot cake lovin!
I’m just wishing Easter were a little later… I have too many carrot cake ideas to try and not enough time! I want to do cinnamon rolls! How awesome would that be?!
I definitely collected about a bazillion beanie babies lol…I was so obsessed. I also collected those weird looking troll dolls with the bright hair and jewel belly buttons. So weird now that I look back on them 🙂 and this milkshake sounds so yummy. I love carrot cake…so in milkshake form…I’m definitely on board!
This is probably SO weird, but my friends and I collected the salamander fishing bait and traded them around!! There are some really pretty ones, lol! 😉
Oh my…did I collect those TY beanie babies. You don’t even want to know how many I had. It’s embarrassing, but mostly on my mom’s part for spending so much money on them.
I also collected Pokemon cards…not going to lie. (That’s the truly embarrassing confession.)
Loving the recipe and the photography 🙂
I collected beanie babies, stickers, cabbage patch kids, nintendo games…lots of 80s and 90s memorabilia. lol
Have a great day 🙂
Hehe, I used to collect stuffed animals. I was (and am!) a huge animal lover :). Definatel will have to make this as well as the one in the bowl 🙂 because we have a ton of carrots at our house
Mmm a drinkable version of carrot cake sounds lovely
I collected anything to do with cats
Katie you are SUCH A GENIUS!! How on earth do you come up with these amazing creations?! I WANT YOUR BRAIN!! And your looks too…that’d be great 🙂
And I still have my Beanie Baby collection, and they aren’t going anywhere!! In fact, there may or may not have been some more recent arrivals… 😛
LOL my mom forced us to stop buying them years ago… I HAD to have the old bear, Peking (because I was obsessed with pandas). So she made a deal with me: she’d get it for me (on ebay for like $100… yikes), but I had to promise not to ever ask for another one. My mom was pretty smart: she spent 100 dollars, but saved money in the long run because I kept my word! I think my old ones are up in the attic… so sad :(.
This looks delicious! I have tons of beanie babies. My siblings and I all collected a different animals of beanie babies. I was bears, one sister was bunnies, my other sister was cats, and my brother was dogs. We still have hundreds of them stowed away!
I collected stickers and pogs when I was really young. I also collected Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen ANYTHING!
