- 3 medium-large carrots, trimmed and chopped (1½ cups chopped carrots)
- 2 cups plus 1 additional cup nondairy milk (plain and unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

- 1¼ teaspoons sea salt
- ¼ – ½ teaspoon ground cayenne (½ teaspoon will make it very spicy)

Directions
