Ingredients

Smoothie Ingredients

  • ½ of a large ripe banana, frozen (or 1 frozen medium banana)
  • ½ cup frozen riced cauliflower (or ~½ cup of ice)
  • ¼ cup sprouted walnuts (or substitute 2 tablespoons walnut or nut butter)
  • 1 large pitted medjool date
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (e.g. Ritual Protein)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (e.g. Malk)
  • Pinch of flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen banana, frozen riced cauliflower, sprouted walnuts, medjool date, vanilla protein powder, ground flaxseed, hemp seeds, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, coconut yogurt, almond milk, and a pinch of flaky salt.
  2. Blend Slowly: Blend the mixture on low speed for about 30 seconds until all ingredients start to combine evenly, ensuring no large chunks remain.
  3. Increase Speed: Gradually increase the blender speed to medium and continue blending for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the smoothie is thick, creamy, and smooth in texture.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a dash of pumpkin pie spice and extra hemp seeds for added texture and flavor. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Frozen riced cauliflower helps keep the smoothie cold and adds fiber without changing flavor significantly; you can substitute with ice if preferred.
  • Using sprouted walnuts enhances nutrient absorption and digestion compared to regular walnuts.
  • If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add an extra medjool date or a small amount of natural sweetener.
  • For vegan protein, choose a plant-based vanilla protein powder.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more almond milk for a thinner smoothie or less for a thicker consistency.
  • Consume immediately for the best texture and taste, as separation can occur if left to sit.
