Ingredients
  

For the Smoothie Base

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower florets
  • 1 scoop 25-30g chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

For Toppings

  • 1/2 fresh banana sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granola
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped almonds or walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flakes
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Fresh berries strawberries, raspberries
  • Drizzle of almond butter

Instructions
 

  • Prepare frozen ingredients: Let frozen banana and cauliflower thaw for 2-3 minutes for easier blending, but keep them mostly frozen for thick consistency.
  • Add liquid first: Pour almond milk into a high-speed blender to help with blending.
  • Add creamy ingredients: Add almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the blender.
  • Add dry ingredients: Add protein powder, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Add frozen ingredients: Add frozen banana chunks and cauliflower florets last.
  • Blend to perfection: Start blending on low speed, then gradually increase to high. Blend for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth and thick like soft-serve ice cream.
  • Check consistency: The mixture should be very thick - add more almond milk only if absolutely necessary, using as little liquid as possible.
  • Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled bowl using a spatula to get every bit.
  • Add toppings: Arrange toppings in sections or rows on top of the smoothie base for beautiful presentation. Serve immediately with a spoon.
