5 Cake-Flavored Smoothies You NEED To Try

5 Cake-Flavored Smoothies You NEED To Try

They're crumb-free—and much healthier than the real deal.

If you like cake (who doesn't?) and smoothies (again, who doesn't?) here's a list you'll want to keep next to your blender: We combed Instagram for the most delicious-looking cake-flavored smoothie recipes and found these creative combinations. The clincher: They're all made with fresh produce and contain filling protein.

@Lean_lisha nailed this layered carrot cake smoothie! For the "cake" layer, blend frozen banana, carrot puree, unsweetened coconut milk, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and ice. For the "frosting" layer, combine Greek yogurt, butter extract, vanilla extract, and stevia to taste. Alternate layers, and top with shredded carrots and crushed walnuts for an awesome treat.
 

To make a German chocolate cake you can drink, blend frozen strawberries, coconut, almond milk, and chocolate almond milk. #YUM
 

This creamy strawberry shortcake smoothie is made from frozen berries, roasted cashews, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and maple syrup. No baking required.
 

This red velvet smoothie is much more nutritious than the classic dessert. It’s made from beets, almond milk, cacao, dates, spinach, and coconut oil. Add a bit of maple syrup or honey to sweeten it up.
 

This cake batter smoothie is just like the stuff you lick off the spatula. To try it, blend banana, vanilla almond milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and stevia. Top the whole thing off with sprinkles.
