Ah, and just like that our Summer holiday has come to an end.

Carrot Cake Protein Smoothie Bowl
Ah, the start of March, makes me think of Spring! Although, we Albertans typically get winter for another two months or so… BUT I’m not thinking of that right now as I’m still basking away in the Hawaiian sun! Spring always makes me think of carrot cake, likely because of Easter so this recipe is right on
