Carrot cake smoothie

This is my own version of a carrot cake smoothie.  The harshest critics are my kids, and the smoothie passed the test! Whew! 
 My kids like it as a dessert.

I usually like to buy organic fruit on sale. When I find a good deal on bananas, they get instantly peeled and frozen for later use. 

The Recipe :
 I use my VitaMix for the blending
 Serves 4
 

1 cup coconut milk ( I used Silk Original)  or Almond milk 
 6 pitted Deglet Noor Dates ( let them soak in the coconut milk for 10 min. It helps them to blend better)
 

Then add:
 2 1/2  large carrots
 1 1/2   frozen bananas
 1/4  medium avocado  
 1 tsp vanilla 
 1/2 tsp ground ceylon cinnamon (or regular)
 1/2 tsp  ground ginger
 1/2 tsp allspice.
 

If you think it's too thick, then try adding a little more coconut milk.
