Ingredients

2 tablespoons tahini or almond butter or peanut butter
2 tablespoons cacao powder or cocoa powder
2 medium medjool dates, pitted or 1 frozen banana
1 cup frozen cauliflower or ice
1 serving chocolate protein powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 cup dairy free milk
½ cup ice

Instructions

Start by measuring out the ingredients into a blender.
2 tablespoons tahini, 2 tablespoons cacao powder, 2 medium medjool dates, pitted, 1 cup frozen cauliflower, 1 serving chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 cup dairy free milk, ½ cup ice
Blend on high until smooth.

Notes

Use a high-speed blender- For the smoothest texture, use a high-speed blender. If your blender isn’t very strong, blend the cauliflower, chia seeds, and milk first, then add the remaining ingredients.
Use frozen cauliflower - Frozen cauliflower rice is key for a thick, creamy texture. Do not use fresh cauliflower, as the flavor will be too strong.
Remove pits from dates - Always make sure your Medjool dates are fully pitted before blending.
Adjust sweetness based on protein powder - Chocolate protein powder adds sweetness. If using an unsweetened protein or skipping it, add 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or extra dates.
