Instructions

Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, frozen shredded carrot, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk; if too thin, add a few extra ice cubes and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
