Equipment

High-quality blender such as Ninja brand
Food Scale recommended for exact measurements (this is mine, I've had it for over 10 years: https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Stainless-Pull-Out-Display-11-Pound/dp/B000WJMTNA/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=oxo%20food%20scale&qid=1563749617&s=gateway&sr=8-3&fbclid=IwAR126VXNFkzJXo_bzvqfRkzq--PK97O9dMvUr5Csm1gojBrwHCuGMAXa1pk)

Ingredients

12 oz almond milk, unsweetened vanilla (I use Silk brand)
1 scoop (30g) vanilla bean whey protein powder (I use Levels 100% Grass-Fed Whey Brand)
3/4 cup (6oz) frozen carrots
2 whole pitted medjool dates
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Optional:

2 Tbsp sugar-free maple syrup (I use Lakanto brand, sweetened with monkfruit. When using this, though, I use 1 date instead of 2)
cold brewed coffee If you want a little extra energy, split up the 12oz of almond milk to be 6oz almond milk, 6 ounces of cold coffee)
1 scoop natural fiber powder (I use Healthy Origins brand and buy on Amazon)
1 Tbsp chopped walnuts (personally, I don't think it needs them, but if you're looking for some extra "good" fat, go for it!)

Instructions

Place all ingredients in blender.
Blend on high for ~1 minute or until everything is thoroughly blended and smooth.

Notes

**Nutritional Information is calculated based on the specific brands I used and do not include the optional ingredients. The protein powder I use does not contain sucralose. If the powder you use does, you will not want to add as many other sweet items to avoid it being overly-sweet.**
