Ingredient Notes

This list is not complete. Please see the recipe card at the end of the post for the complete ingredient list with measurements and detailed instructions.

• Cauliflower: You can use fresh or frozen, raw or cooked cauliflower. I use raw frozen cauliflower for smoothies but if you’re sensitive to digesting raw veggies like cauliflower, I would recommend steaming it before freezing.
• Protein Powder: Use your favourite vegan protein powder. I like vanilla but chocolate or mocha also works. Some of my favourite brands are Vega, NuZest, Outcast Mission, North Coast Naturals, Iron Vegan, PVL and Bob’s Red Mill.
• Cacao Powder: Adds the chocolate element. Use raw cacao powder for a little extra nutrition otherwise any cocoa powder works. If you’re using chocolate protein powder, you can omit this ingredient.
• Coffee: Any coffee or espresso plus some water works. You can use 1 cup of coffee or half coffee and half dairy-free milk of choice.
• Yogurt: Any plain or vanilla yogurt works. I like Yosu, So Delicious or the greek yogurt from Daiya.
• Frozen Banana: Key for a thick, creamy smoothie! To prep smoothie bananas, simply peel them, break into chunks and store in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag so you’re always ready to go.

Tips

Here are a few tips for blending your smoothie with success:

• Add the liquid first then add the rest of the ingredients.
• Start blending on low until it “catches”.
• Slowly increase to high and blend briefly as you can until completely smooth and creamy.
• Avoid over-blending to keep it as cold and creamy as possible.

Additions

Some additional ingredients that work well in this smoothie are:

• 1-2 tbsp almond butter, peanut butter or tahini – extra creaminess and yumminess!
• up to 1 cup frozen zucchini rounds (will need additional liquid)
• 1-2 tbsp hemp seeds, chia seeds or ground flax – adds healthy fats and more calories if you need them, helps to thicken
• up to 1/4 cup rolled oats – thickens, adds carbohydrates if you need them, adds flavour
• up to 1 cup ice cubes – makes it like a frappe
• for dessert, try topping it with a dollop of your favourite dairy-free whipped cream

Cookie Topping Option

To make a vanilla “cookie” sprinkle for your smoothie, finely chop or blend together the following until it resembles a crumbly dough:

• 2 tbsp rolled oats
• 2 tbsp walnuts, almonds, cashews or pecans
• 1 large or 2-3 small dates
• pinch of sea salt

Sprinkle the mixture over your smoothie for a treat! Be sure to use soft, moist dates for the best consistency. If your dates are very dry, soak them in hot water then drain well before use. If you mix it up and it’s too dry, add a few drops of water to moisten the mixture.
