                                Ingredients
- 3 pitted large Medjool dates (¼ cup packed pitted Medjool dates)
 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or sub light coconut milk), plus more to thin smoothie if necessary
 - ¾ cup frozen cauliflower
 - 1 1/2 tablespoons cacao powder
 - 1 tablespoon tahini (or sub chocolate tahini or chocolate almond butter)
 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
 - ⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract
 - Pinch of sea salt
 - Optional:
 - 1 shot of Bailey’s cream, Peppermint Schnapp’s or Kahula
 - 1 teaspoon espresso powder
 - 1 scoop your favorite protein powder
 - 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
 - 1 cup spinach
 - ¼ cup gluten free rolled oats
 
Instructions
- First soak your pitted dates in 1 cup of HOT 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, frozen cauliflower, cacao powder, tahini, vanilla and peppermint extract and a pinch of salt. 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.
 
Notes
- To make this a peppermint mocha smoothie:Instead of 1 cup almond milk, add ½ cup cold coffee + ½ cup milk. Or, you can simply add a package of instant coffee granules or 1 teaspoon of espresso powder.
