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 was a huge stuffed animal collector. I used to have so many stuffed animals on my bed as a child that my mom sometimes couldn’t tell i was in the bed. It’s a good thing I wasn’t allergic!
Carrot cake is my absolute favorite – I have it every birthday. This looks so amazing – must try! I might try with a little pineapple in there too 🙂
it even has “sprinkles” love it
omg! that sounds amazing….
since it is pretty healthy, maybe it would make a good easter breakfast. i need something delicious to get me in the cooking/cleaning/prep mode.
I just made a batch with coconut milk and greek yogurt and they were phenomenal! I grated a raw carrot and blended it in and it turned out wonderfully well. Having the raw, crunchy bits makes me feel like I have a treat akin to chocolate chips in it!
I’m so excited you made it! And liked it!! 🙂
Oh wow I am definitely going to try this smoothie. I love carrot cake! Definitely not sharing it with any greedy bunnies 🙂
I used to collect all sorts of things, beanie babies, rocks, all stuffed animals in general actually. Now i have a bunch of owl things XD
i love you for this! i used to collect trolls and teenage mutant ninja gear lol.
hah, when you listed what you used to collect, you basically were describing my childhood. one of my current friends used to call me “beanie baby girl” because I brought a beanie baby to school every day in 4th grade… and my first AIM screen name was smiley9010. 🙂
Haha you don’t want to know mine. It was Pandacheese. So weird… and random!
Yum! Just found my way here from Pinterest. Looks great and healthy 🙂
Aw yay! I don’t know what pinterest is, but I’m so glad you found me! 🙂
Carrot Cake Milkshake was AWESOME!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I added an extra carrot because i love Karrot Kake!!! lol
ps…I used my Vitamix so i didnt have to steam the carrot.
Thx again for all your hard work in bringing “us” all great alternatives to great food! THX
I’m so excited you tried it… and liked it! 🙂
