Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup plant-based milk (e.g., oat milk)
- 1 cup frozen riced cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (e.g., almond butter)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
- 3-4 pitted Medjool dates
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups ice
Optional Smoothie Add-Ins

Instructions
- Add Ingredients Except Ice: Place the plant-based milk, frozen riced cauliflower, nut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, pitted Medjool dates, vanilla extract, and any optional smoothie add-ins into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Ice and Blend: Add the 2 cups of ice to the blender and blend again until the milkshake reaches a thick and creamy consistency, resembling a traditional milkshake.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the milkshake evenly into two glasses. Optionally, top with your favorite toppings such as shaved chocolate, nuts, or coconut flakes. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- If the blender struggles or you prefer a thinner shake, add more plant-based milk gradually until desired consistency is reached.
- For a frostier and thicker milkshake, add more ice incrementally while blending.
- You can customize the milkshake with various nut butters like peanut or cashew butter for different flavors.
- Using Medjool dates ensures natural sweetness but adjust quantity based on your taste preference.
- Optional add-ins such as chia seeds or protein powder increase nutritional value and make it more filling.
