Main Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 3 medjool dates, pit removed
- 2-3 florets frozen cauliflower, steamed or blanched before freezing
- 3/4 cup cold coffee (180ml)
- 1/2 cup almond milk, or dairy free milk of your choice (120ml)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients. Ensure the banana is frozen, dates are pitted, and cauliflower florets are steamed or blanched before freezing for optimal texture and flavor in the smoothie.
- Add to Blender. Combine the frozen banana, medjool dates, frozen cauliflower florets, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt in a high-speed blender.
- Pour Liquids. Add the cold coffee and almond milk to the blender with the other ingredients to help achieve a smooth consistency.
- Blend Smooth. Blend all ingredients on high until creamy, smooth, and well combined, ensuring no chunks remain.
- Serve Immediately. Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Steaming or blanching the cauliflower before freezing eliminates bitterness and softens it for a better smoothie texture.
- Adjust the amount of coffee depending on your caffeine preference or substitute with decaf if desired.
- Medjool dates add natural sweetness; swap with other dates or sweeteners if needed.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other dairy-free milk or regular milk as preferred.
- Add ice cubes if you want a thicker, colder smoothie.
