A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Make your carrot juice or chop your carrots. If making juice, save the pulp for carrot cake! I have a great recipe linked in this blog post.
- Add carrot juice (or chopped carrots), water, maple syrup, coconut sugar and cinnamon sticks to a pot on the stove over medium heat.
- While stirring often, allow the mixture to come to a simmer. The sugar will dissolve and the flavors will combine. It will be ready in 5-10 minutes.
- Strain out the cinnamon sticks (and chopped carrots if used) and allow the syrup to cool fully before adding in the vanilla.
- Store in a jar or bottle with a lid in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
- Add the syrup to the bottom of your mug and brew your favorite espresso to your liking overtop. Stir together once the espresso is brewed.
- Froth your creamer and milk together on the warm setting of your milk frother. If you're using a hand held frother, heat your milk and creamer for 30-45 seconds in the microwave prior!
- Pour in your frothed milk over top of the espresso. Top with cinnamon and enjoy!
- Add syrup to a cup and brew your favorite espresso to your liking over top. I always allow it to chill/cool down by brewing the espresso over metal ice cubes or by using my hyperchiller so that the espresso doesn't become bitter as it cools.
- In a cup with ice, pour in the creamer followed by either frothed or not frothed milk. Then, pour over the espresso with the syrup.
- Mix and top with cinnamon. Enjoy!
