Can I make this in advance?

Sure! You can store the smoothie for 1-2 days in the fridge. It won't be quite as thick after storing but it will still be delicious!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother option for prepping, is to add everything but the liquid to a freezer safe bag or container and freezing until you're ready to make the smoothie. When you're ready, dump the ingredients into a blender with the liquid and blend away!

Can I make this without protein powder?

You can but it's better with protein since it sweetens and thickens the smoothie. If you want to try it without protein powder, try replacing it with 1/2 to 1 frozen banana.

Is there an alternative to cauliflower?

The cauliflower can be swapped for frozen zucchini or cooked and frozen white sweet potato (fresh is ok too but frozen makes it thicker and creamier).

Tiramisu Smoothie

Description

The quick cookie crumble is your vanilla wafers, the non-dairy yogurt fills in for cream cheese and of course, you can’t forget the coffee in anything inspired by tiramisu. Frozen banana, vegan vanilla protein powder and cauliflower adds volume and nutrition and it’s all blended up and topped off with a quick vanilla cookie crumble.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup chilled coffee or cold brew (125 mL)
additional 1/2 cup coffee or 1/2 cup dairy-free milk (125 mL)
1 frozen banana (120 g)
3/4 cup non-dairy yogurt (175 g), plain or vanilla
3/4 cup (90 g) steamed then frozen cauliflower pieces
1 tbsp (8 g) cacao powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 serving (30 g) vegan vanilla protein powder

Instructions

Add the coffee (and milk if using) to a high-speed blender then add the rest of the ingredients.
Start blending on low then slowly increase speed, blending briefly on high until smooth and creamy.
Pour into a glass and enjoy.

Notes

Cookie Topping: 2 tbsp walnuts, pecans or almonds, 2 tbsp oats, 3 small dates, pinch of sea salt. Finely chop or pulse in a blender to combine. Sprinkle over your smoothie.

Cauliflower: If you digest cauliflower well, you can use raw cauliflower. I still like to freeze it to keep my smoothies cold and creamy but you can also use fresh. If you have frozen cauliflower rice on hand, that would also work. If you’re sensitive to digesting cruciferous vegetables, steam the cauliflower then let cool before freezing. I like to do this in batches so I always have some on hand for smoothies.
