Carrot Cake Shake

Spring is around the corner, so cue all the carrot cake inspired recipes! I love the carrot cake flavor, topped with cream cheese frosting, it’s so decadent and satisfying. While I didn’t add any cream cheese frosting I love to top it with melted coconut butter to top, it’s like one of those “magic shell” ice cream toppers that adds a little somethin-somethin :)
