1
Use the spices which you really like and feel free to vary the amounts to favor particular ones. For the iced option one: Combine the spices, carrot, fruit, honey, syrup, zest and juice ingredients in a blender to puree: Process. Then add the yogurt and ice cubes. Process until smooth.
2
Pour into glasses and garnish with mint leaves and a sprinkle of all the spices you like.

For option two, put the grated carrots, spices, honey, maple syrup, zest and juice in a sauce pan. Cook until the carrots are softened, about 5-8 minutes. Let cool. Then process in a blender with the yogurt and ice. Serve as in Step 2.

For the warm option three, (where I suggest a bit more sweetener, maybe 1/2 tbl. more of honey) cook the carrots with sweeteners, juice and zest until soft, about 5 minutes. Then add the yogurt and simmer gently for another 5 minutes, but do not boil. Process in the blender and then pour into heat tolerant glasses. Garnish with spices and a drizzle of maple syrup.
