Instructions
  1. 1

    Load up the blender

    Add 1 cup freshly shredded carrots (about 2 medium, peeled), the frozen sliced banana, almond milk, cottage cheese, protein powder, oats, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Freshly shredded carrots blend way smoother than the dry pre-shredded bags, so grate your own if you can. Toss in a scoop of ice if you want it frosty and thick.

  1. 2

    Blend it smooth

    Blend on high for a full minute until totally creamy. Carrots take a little longer to break down than fruit, so don't rush it — you want zero grit, just silky orange smoothie.

  2. 3

    Dial in the texture

    Too thick? Splash in a little more milk. Want it thicker and colder? Add a few more ice cubes and blend again until it's exactly how you like it.

  3. 4

    Pour and sip

    Pour into two glasses and drink it right away while it's cold and creamy. A little extra cinnamon on top is never a bad idea.

Notes & Tips

Okay, don't let the veggie scare you off — this genuinely tastes like carrot cake batter in a glass. The banana and maple bring the sweetness, the cinnamon and nutmeg do all the cozy work, and the cottage cheese makes it ridiculously creamy without any cheesy taste (you won't believe me until you try it). It's actually filling thanks to the oats and protein, so it holds up as a real breakfast, not just a snack. Want the full dessert experience? A spoonful of cream cheese blended in takes it fully over the top. Fall in a cup.
