Add Shakeology, almond flour, shredded coconut, coconut flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to a large mixing bowl; stir to combine. Set aside.

Add carrots, pineapple, eggs, applesauce, carrot juice, oil, and extract to a medium mixing bowl; stir to combine.

Add wet mixture to dry mixture; stir until just combined. Pour batter into prepared dish.

Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven. Set aside; allow to cool completely. You can cover cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate to cool faster.
