Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower rice
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup dairy free milk
- 1.5 tbsp tahini
- 2 medjool dates pitted
- 1 serving vegan vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Measure out all the ingredients into a blender. Be sure to remove the pits from the dates.
- Blend on high for about 1 minute until thick and creamy.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries – frozen strawberries are so easy to keep on hand (you don’t have to worry about them spoiling) and will make your smoothie super thick and creamy. If all you have are fresh strawberries, you can freeze them in advance (hull the strawberries and freeze on a sheet of parchment paper).
- If you only have fresh strawberries, add about 1/2 cup of ice to the smoothie to get the same texture and icy cold consistency. Adding ice can water down the flavors a bit though, which is why I recommend using frozen strawberries when you can.
- If you don’t have protein powder, or don’t want to use it, replace the protein powder with 1/4 cup of rolled oats and 1-2 more dates for sweetness. You could also add 3 tablespoons hemp hearts (10 grams of protein) or replace 1/2 cup of milk with yogurt to add some protein.
- Stir the tahini well before using, especially the first time you open the jar. Tahini, like almond butter or peanut butter, comes in a jar and the oil separates and rises to the top. It’s important that you take the time to stir this in (I usually use a butter knife for this) so that the tahini has the right consistency.
