Carrot Cake Smoothie
This smoothie is a fun breakfast alternative for if you want something a bit different. This vegan breakfast smoothie gives you a carrot cake flavoured smoothie at the bottom, topped with a delicious cashew lemon icing.
The trick to this smoothie is to make sure the carrot cake smoothie layer is thicker than the icing on top. This makes sure that the icing doesn’t sink into the carrot layer.
Make sure you drink this with a straw so that you get a bit from each layer!
