Ingredients
- 3 Medjool dates pitted, large, ¼ cup packed
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened, or substitute light coconut milk; plus more to thin smoothie if necessary
- ¾ cup cauliflower frozen
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon tahini or substitute chocolate tahini or chocolate almond butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional:
- 1 Baileys Irish cream or Peppermint Schnapps or Kahlua; shot
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 protein powder scoop, your favorite
- 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.
