Will the carrots blend well or will I end up with pieces?

If you don't have a high-powered blender like a Vitamix , Ninja or Beast ( affiliate links ), you may end up with some carrot pieces in your smoothie. If you don't have a high-powered blender, steam and cool the carrots first!

What can I sub for the almond butter if I can't do nuts?

You could try tahini, although the flavor will be slightly more pronounced. You can also just leave out the almond butter or sub with a protein powder to keep it a little more balanced.

Where can I find medjool dates? Is there a sub for this?

I buy the huge container of pitted medjool dates at Costco, but you should be able to find them at most grocery stores. The date adds just a little extra sweetness and an almost caramel-like flavor. If you can't find them, a teaspoon or two of maple syrup would be a good sub.
