Health Food = Rabbit Food
Normally this is exactly the kind of stereotype I try to dispel on my blog. But today, I’m embracing it full-force:
A carrot cake milkshake!
A double carrot cake milkshake, as I topped it with my 5-Minute Single Serving Carrot Cake in a Mug recipe. Two carrot cakes are better than one.
Carrot Cake Milkshake
- 1 extremely-ripe, large banana (frozen)
- 2/3 cup milk of choice (For a rich, “ice cream”-like shake, use canned coconut milk. Also, use more or less, depending on desired thickness.)
- 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: 1 tbsp Homemade Coconut Butter
Steam your carrot first, then blend all of the ingredients together in your blender, food processor, or even a Magic Bullet. (Note: This still tastes delicious if you just use almond milk as opposed to canned coconut milk. But it’s more of a carrot cake smoothie than a true milkshake.) I crumbled a healthy carrot cake in a mug on top.
Get your bunny friends together and eat rabbit food. Or don’t tell your bunny friends, and keep the rabbit food for yourself! ‘Cause if you’re anything like me, you have a lot of bunny friends. As a child, I collected rabbits, so I have about a million stuffed animals, figurines, and other such bunny toys. If I invited all of them to my carrot-cake parties, the non-bunny of the group (me) would never get a bite.

This was soooooo good! I used 6 steamed baby carrots, since I didn’t have any big carrots…Next time I think I will use 10 steamed baby carrots though to get more of a carrot-ey taste. I topped my carrot cake shake off with whipped topping and shredded carrots 🙂 I bet this would taste good with some raisins mixed in, kind of like how tapioca pearls are just yumm-ily suspended in bubble tea? Anyway, thanks for the recipe CCK!

As an entertainer it’s always so important to stay healthy and trim. I’ve become an avid chocolate covered katie follower. My fiancé and I have used at least one of these recipes a week. This carrot cake smoothie one was amazing! Its like exactly like carrot cake- seriously too good to be true let alone healthy. Only diff was we didnt have full size carrots, only baby carrots. We used about 7 baby carrots. PERFECTION. Thank you we love it.

I added a bit of cream cheese and seedless orange chunks to simulate adding icing to the top in the blender and my 3 y.o. said “it’s good like cupcakes” to me today. Yum.
Maxine says
I’m allergic to anything coconut — it makes me itch all over — what do I substitute for anything g coconut?
Unofficial CCK Helper says
As it states in this recipe, the coconut is optional. However if you still want the richest results without coconut you can use cashew cream: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2013/04/17/how-to-make-cashew-cream/
