Carrot Cake Smoothie

Love for carrot cake has started when i moved to UK along with hubby...until then i was unaware of this taste totally, as in india we were always would taste chocolate and vanilla cakes with various filling in bakeries. Carrot cake is one of my favorite cakes .... but always baking would take time to enjoy the aroma and taste of the cake. 
Once i was going through the smoothie recipes and discovered this amazing smoothie recipe called Carrot Cake Smoothie. I kept this bookmarked and then when my blogger friends has a challenge of smoothies then i thought this would be best time to try this, as it is different and so here it is. There are many versions of it but i took the recipe from here and did some changes, like I totally skipped yogurt and maple syrup and replaced pecan with walnut but the result was amazing .... i am loving it. Its a must try smoothie if you a fan of carrot cake...the texture is little grainy and thick. This can be served as breakfast or a dessert after a meal.
