Three great health benefits: boosts immunity, high in antioxidants, promotes healthy skin

Makes 1 large glass

Enjoy immediately

Ingredients: 

1 carrot, grated

1 orange, peeled and chopped with any large pips removed

1 tbsp Cinnamon Pecan Nut Butter (see the recipe here)

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp vanilla (I used vanilla bean paste)

1 tbsp maple syrup

300ml almond milk

Note: You can, of course, substitute the Cinnamon Pecan Nut Butter for another nut butter of your choice and simply increase the amount of ground cinnamon added, to taste. The caramel flavour of the Cinnamon Pecan Nut Butter really does work well though! 

Method: 

1) Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender until smooth and creamy. Enjoy immediately.
