Ingredients 1 large ripe frozen banana (1 banana yields ~1 ¼ cup) 1 small carrot, chopped (1 small carrot yields ~1/2 cup)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or 1/8 tsp vanilla powder) 1 tsp fresh minced or grated ginger (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger) 1 healthy pinch ground nutmeg
1/2 to 1 cup dairy-free milk (or more for thinner smoothies; we suggest cashew, coconut, or almond) 1 scoop vanilla or plain protein powder (optional; skip date if adding sweetened)
