My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard....

The kids and I were just sitting here painting things and making lemonade stand signs, and I found this awesome milkshake recipe and everyone except Jaden loved it...who admitted that he hates carrot cake.  But it takes JUST like carrot cake...and NO SUGAR!


  • 1 extremely-ripe, large banana (frozen)
  • 2/3 cup non-dairy milk...we use almond. (For an extremely rich, “ice cream”-like shake, try coconut milk. Also, use more or less, depending on desired thickness.)
  • If, like me, you prefer smoothies in a bowl, reduce milk, or add a pinch of xantham and guar gums.
  • 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: coconut oil...be sure to slowly pour it in so it doesn't harden.
