- 1/3 cup raw, unsalted cashews
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and chop the carrots, peel the orange, and core the apple to get all fruits and nuts ready for blending.
- Combine in Blender: Pour almond milk into a high-speed blender. Add chopped carrots, apple, peeled orange, cashews, date syrup (or Medjool dates), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and optionally top with coconut flakes and walnuts for extra crunch and flavor.
Notes
- Note 1: Almond milk provides creaminess to the smoothie, but oat milk, cashew milk, soy milk, or any other preferred milk can be substituted.
- Note 2: Dates are ideal natural sweeteners for this smoothie; maple syrup can also be used if dates are unavailable.
- Note 3: The potency of cinnamon and nutmeg varies with freshness, so taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
- Note 4: For an energy boost, add one tablespoon of flax seeds, chia seeds, or hemp seeds during blending.
