Ingredients
Produce
- ½ small fresh ripe avocado
- ½ cup frozen cauliflower rice
- 1 handful fresh baby spinach
- 5 large fresh mint leaves
Sweeteners
- 4 Medjool dates, pitted (or substitute 1 tablespoon maple syrup)
Others
- 1 tablespoon cacao nibs (or substitute mini chocolate chips)
- 1 cup cashew milk (or milk of choice)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure out all ingredients including the avocado, frozen cauliflower rice, baby spinach, mint leaves, dates, cacao nibs, and cashew milk.
- Blend Smoothie: Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Thickness: Check the consistency of the smoothie and add more milk if a thinner texture is preferred. Blend briefly again to combine.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best fresh flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a sweeter smoothie, add an extra date or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Frozen cauliflower rice adds creaminess without overpowering the flavor and boosts fiber content.
- Cacao nibs provide a subtle crunch and antioxidants; mini chocolate chips can be used for a sweeter alternative.
- This recipe is easily customizable with different plant-based milks like almond, oat, or soy.
- To keep the smoothie colder longer, use frozen spinach or freeze the mint leaves ahead of time.
