Skinny Carrot Cake Milkshake

I thought maybe I had gone too far with this one. 

I mean... carrots in a milkshake?

Turns out it's a great idea.

Really.

This tastes like a piece of carrot cake with all the bits of craisins, pecans, carrots, and pineapple stuffed inside. The color is fascinating too. It's a cool salmon-y pink color. Very cheerful and welcoming when you are having a grumpy morning. Or grumpy lunch time. Or grumpy after-dinner-I-need-dessert time. 

Some more good news? This is only 320 calories, 60 carbs, 3 fat, and 16 protein. (According to Myfitnesspal) Nice, right?  

Skinny Carrot Cake Milkshake

Ingredients

1 cup shredded carrot

1/4 cup crushed pineapple in juice

1/2 cup 0 fat, plain Greek yogurt - frozen

2 pkg Sugar Twin Stevia

1 tsp flax

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 Tbsp craisins

1 pecan half, chopped

ice cubes

1 Tbsp Light Cool Whip

Directions

Throw all ingredients, except Cool Whip, into a blender. 

Process until smooth. Add a few more ice cubes or more frozen yogurt if you want your shake thicker. 

Top with the Cool Whip.

Serve immediately. 

(I saved a pinch of the carrots, craisins, pineapple, and pecan to throw on top for decoration. This is optional. )

Mmmm....carrot cake-y goodness.

Super quick, super easy, super tasty. Skinny "milkshakes" made with no fat Greek yogurt are quickly becoming my go-to for breakfasts. They're just so much fun.
