Happy Sunday, friends!

How was your weekend?

Mine was pretty quiet in the best possible way.

We took the time to tackle a little spring-cleaning and rearrange areas of the condo that weren’t really working.

Sometimes it feels like the kindest thing I can do for myself is to tackle headfirst those big tasks that have been lazing around my TO-DO list for months, you know?

Another kind thing we can do for ourselves to prep for the week is to go bake a giant tray of cinnamon roasted carrots.

Cinnamon roasted carrots?

Yes, to throw in Carrot Cake Shakes!

These Cinnamon Roasted Carrot Cake Shakes are a fun banana-free mix that make it possible for you to have your cake and drink it too.

Is anyone else a little confused currently about what to wear, what to eat, and what season it is?

Last week the weather here in Virginia jumped from chilly to sweaty and back to chilly again.

I can’t keep up.

I’ve deemed these Cinnamon Roasted Carrot Cake Shakes the best of all the worlds.

Cozy roasted carrots mixed with bright pineapple, candy-like Medjool dates, warming cinnamon, and a dollop of creamy yogurt.

They somehow manage to be both cozy and refreshing simultaneously.

Bet you haven’t seen (tasted) that in a shake before.

These shakes started with simple cinnamon roasted carrots.

Have you tried them yet?

I first tried roasting veg with cinnamon in my Savory Yogurt Bowls with Cinnamon Roasted Veggies post and I’ve been doing it ever since!

Roasting carrots in particular is pretty sweet.

Literally.

Baking them draws out the natural sweets of this root veggie, making them supple, sweet, and candy-like.

Freezing them to add to shakes turns the mixture a wonderful burnt orange color while adding a full serving of veg to your morning.

These Cinnamon Roasted Carrot Cake Shakes make a perfect quick and easy breakfast or snack.

If you don’t have frozen carrots and you’d like to make this shake, no worries!

Trying substituting raw carrots instead and add a little extra frozen pineapple or less almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.

This combination is lightly sweetened with fresh pineapple and ooey gooey medjool dates– if you’re looking for a lower sugar option use less dates or. omit entirely.

I love to eat mine with a spoon with lots of crunchy grain-free granola.

Hi, I'm Lauren!
You can find me in the kitchen making healthy and creative plant-based dishes with whole foods, on my yoga mat stretching it out, or curled up with a good book and a glass of red. Searching for balanced living in an unbalanced world. I live it, eat it, drink it, write it, photograph it, and share it all here.

Pizza date night tonight? 🙋‍♀️This VEGGIE Pizza date night tonight? 🙋‍♀️This VEGGIE LOVER’S FLATBREAD PIZZA is new on the blog today! 🍕In the post I share how M and I have never been on a *real* date and how we make up for that by doing dinner date-night ins. One of our favorite things to make together lately is homemade plant-based pizza! 😄 This vegan and grain-free pizza is made easily with @bobsredmill NEW Grain-Free Flatbread Mix! I love this new flatbread mix, guys!!! You can make it vegan easily with a flax egg. Bake it up then add pizza sauce, vegan cheese, and your fav toppings for a fun plant-based pizza night in! ☺️
-
You can make the recipe into one large pizza or two smaller personal pizzas (which is what we typically do so we can go wild with our own toppings). I went traditional veggie lover’s with mine but you can add any toppings that sound good. I’m a huge pineapple pizza lover whereas M thinks pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza. 🤣 Grab the full recipe via the link in my profile and let me know what you think!

So, what’s yours favorite date night in idea been this past year? Please share!
