Servings: 2
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 2 dates
- 1/4 cup frozen riced cauliflower
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (see note)
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup coconut milk from a carton (plus an extra 1/4 cup if too thick)
- 1/4 cup ice
Add all ingredients in blender and blend until creamy and well blended. The dates might take a little longer to blend up, so make sure there are no large chunks left. If smoothie looks too thick, add an additional 1/4 or so of milk and blend again.
Divide into 2 glasses and enjoy!
For the protein powder, I like to use 1 scoop vanilla and 1/2 scoop berry. But you can substitute what you have, using all berry or vanilla.
I use coconut milk from a carton, which is typically thinner than what you would get from a can. You can also substitute your favorite milk if desired including almond, oat, or cow's milk.
