My favorite season is definitely Fall. I love the crisp air, the leaves changing colors, but most importantly – the food. Today I’m sharing this healthy and refreshing vegan Carrot Cake Smoothie Bowl that’s fit for Fall.

Carrot Cake Inspired

The Cinnamon + Carrot smoothie that came in my Daily Harvest box was calling my name, so I turned it into a smoothie bowl with toppings that give me Fall feels.

It tastes like a mix between carrot cake, pumpkin bread, and a chai latte. It’s fresh enough for summer, with all the comfort of fall food.

This recipe features Daily Harvest but it is not sponsored. I was given the opportunity to try these for a work project. When I partner with brands that I love, you’ll always see a note and my honest opinion.

Now, let’s chat more about this tasty breakfast.

What are the benefits?

Pumpkin + Sunflower Seeds

It’s loaded with seeds for all the anti-inflammatory + skin benefits. Pumpkin seeds are a fantastic source of zinc, which is necessary for both clear skin and a healthy immune system. Sunflower seed butter is high in selenium, which fights inflammation and infection.

Coconut + Cinnamon

Coconut shreds provide 15% of daily recommended manganese, which helps regulate blood sugar and improves bone health. Ceylon cinnamon also regulates blood sugar and supports immune health.

Carrots + Sweet Potato

For a skin boost, this is loaded with Vitamin A. Vitamin A plays a huge role in beautiful skin – every day I eat yellow and orange vegetables to improve my natural glow, like carrots, bell pepper, and sweet potato.

  • vegan
  • gluten-free
  • refined sugar-free
  • anti-inflammatory

Recipe FAQs:

Can I make this in advance?

I don’t recommend making the base in advance because it will begin to melt. For the best consistency, prep right before eating. However, you can combine the toppings in a container to save time.

Will it taste like vegetables?

Although it tastes super fresh, it tastes much more like ice cream or dessert than vegetables. If you’re trying to add more vegetables to your diet, this is a great place to start.

Can I swap out the milk or toppings?

Yes! Almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, and hemp milk would all work well. As for toppings, you can definitely swap out or add more. Other ideas include chia seeds, raw sunflower seeds, pumpkin pie spice, or almond butter.

Notes

  • When adding the coconut milk, remember to leave an inch of space at the top of the Daily Harvest cup for a thick smoothie bowl consistency.
  • If you have a blender such as a Vitamix, you can use that to blend the base. I don’t recommend blenders such as the Nutribullet that are upside-down. You’ll have to add more liquid to blend and the consistency won’t be as thick.
