Recipe Notes

You could add a scoop of plain vegan protein powder to this smoothie to make it extra satiating. My personal favourite is Epic Protein by Sprout Living (I’ve been drinking it for years!). My 20% of discount code with them is: thefirstmess.
My favourite non-dairy yogurt here in Canada is by Yoggu. In the US, Anita’s or Culina are my top picks.
A teaspoon of chia, flax or hemp seeds would be great for a little seedy boost :)
If I had ground cardamom on hand, I would have added a pinch here.

This smoothie is the perfect way to welcome Spring. Carrots, citrus, and frozen banana combine with warm spices, nut butter, and non-dairy yogurt for a hearty and unusual vegan breakfast smoothie.
