Carrot Cake Smoothie Bowl
Place the cooked Findus Baby Carrots, half of the muffins, the orange zest, orange juice, yoghurt, dates, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, bananas and coconut milk in a food processor and blend until smooth. Sweeten with honey (optional).
To Serve
Divide the mixture between 4 serving bowls. Use a melon baller to make dragon fruit or kiwi balls. Scatter over the smoothie bowls. Arrange the remaining diced muffins, walnuts, raspberries, coconut flakes and chia seeds on top. Garnish with mint (optional).
Tip: To toast walnuts easily, bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C for 8-10 minutes, until lightly toasted.
