Servings: 1
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond or oat milk plus more as needed to thin
- ½ frozen banana
- ½ cup frozen cauliflower florets
- 1 scoop vegan chocolate protein powder 25 grams, I used Nuzest
- ½ Tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 medjool date
- Handful of spinach optional
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- Cacao nibs for topping
- Candy canes/peppermint candies for topping
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a glass and top with cacao nibs and peppermint candies.
Notes
- This smoothie is naturally sweetened with banana and a Medjool date, but feel free to add another date or a touch of maple syrup if you want it sweeter.
- You can skip the candy cane topping to keep things more wholesome, or leave it on for a festive touch.
- Any chocolate protein powder works here, but I personally love Nuzest for its clean ingredients and flavor. Use code eatingbirdfood for 15% off.
