Ingredients
- For the date smoothie:
- 3 pitted Medjool dates (about ¼ cup packed pitted Medjool dates)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy free milk of choice), plus more to thin smoothie as necessary
- 1 cup frozen cauliflower
- ¼ cup oats
- 1 ½ tablespoons peanut butter (or 2 tablespoons peanut butter powder)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt (if your PB isn’t salted)
- Optional smoothie add-ins:
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 scoop your favorite protein powder
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 1 cup spinach
Instructions
- First soak your pitted dates in 1 cup of very warm water for at least 5 minutes. This will help them soften up and perfect for blending. While the dates are soaking you can get all your other ingredients out, measured and ready.
- Next add all ingredients to a high powered blender: pitted dates, almond milk, cauliflower, oats, peanut butter, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Feel free to add any optional add-ins to your smoothie if you’d like. Blend until smooth, adding more almond milk to thin, if necessary. Pour into a glass and enjoy! Serves 1. Feel free to double the recipe to serve 2.
