Chocolate Peanut Cauliflower Smoothie
A smoothie with rich, indulgent flavour and a silky, creamy texture. But no one will guess the secret ingredient is frozen cauliflower.
Ingredients
- 160 g frozen cauliflower florets see Recipe Notes
- 2 rounded tbsp peanut butter
- 2 level tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
- 2-4 tsp date syrup or other sweetener OR 30-40g chopped dates
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 150-200 ml milk or yogurt
- 2 tbsp hemp hearts or chia seeds optional
- 1-2 handfuls ice cubes
To serve (optional)
- 2 tsp cacao nibs
- 2 tsp hemp hearts or milled chia seeds
Instructions
-
Put all the smoothie ingredients in a blender (add the smaller of the suggested amounts for the sweetener, the milk/yogurt, and ice to begin with) and blend for a few seconds.
-
Taste, and add more sweetener if needed, plus more milk/yogurt to thin, or more ice to thicken, then blend until completely smooth.
-
Divide between two glasses, sprinkle with the garnishes if using, then serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
To make raw cauliflower more digestible and easier to blend, I recommend steaming florets for 5-7 minutes or until no longer raw but still firm.
Freezing the florets on baking parchment with space between each one before transferring to a freezer bag means you can take out exactly the amount needed.
