Shakeology Carrot Cake

There are times when you just feel like a treat and don't want to blow the diet. Like last night when the kids had ice-cream for dessert. This carrot cake did the trick - a little too well when you consider that my 2 year old went off and got herself a spoon so she could share with me!

Ingredients - Cake

•  2 egg whites (3 Tbsp from a carton)

• 1/4 cup of oats (gf certified if required)

• 1/2 scoop of vanilla shakeology

• 1/2 a banana

• 10 baby carrots

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp vanilla essence

• 1 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk or water

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp stevia (optional)

Ingredients - Frosting

• 1/4 - 1/2 cup plain Greek Yogurt

• 1 tsp stevia

• 1/2 scoop vanilla shakeology (use less if using less Greek Yogurt or you could use none)

Directions

1. Blend or grate carrots

2. Put all cake ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth

3. Pour batter into a cup or small bowl (spray with non-stick oil if you want to transfer to a plate)

4. Microwave at 60% power for about 2 mins 30 seconds or until cake consistency

5. Make frosting whilst cooking by mixing all ingredients together

6. Spoon frosting over cake and enjoy!
