Notes
- Use a food processor to easily shred the carrots.
- Go easy on the sweetener. Carrots are naturally sweet vegetables, and some varieties of carrots are sweeter.

- When ready to serve, give it a quick stir, making sure to grab some yummy juice that has moved to the bottom of the bowl and add it on top.
