Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 4 pitted Medjool dates
- 1/4 cup blanched and slivered almonds
- Zest of 1/2 a large lemon
- 2 large juicy lemons (about 1/4 cup juice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 cup frozen riced cauliflower
- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (unsweetened vanilla almond milk recommended)
Additional Ingredients
- 1–2 cups ice cubes
- Lemon zest for garnish (optional)
- Coconut whipped cream for garnish (optional)
- Spring of fresh mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the Medjool dates, blanched and slivered almonds, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground turmeric, frozen riced cauliflower, and plant-based milk into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well integrated.
- Add Ice and Blend: Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender and blend again until there are no ice chunks remaining. Taste the smoothie to check the consistency and frostiness. For a thicker, frostier texture, add an additional cup of ice and blend again. Adjust taste and sweetness as desired.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into one or two glasses depending on your serving preference—either as a meal replacement or a filling snack. Garnish with fresh lemon zest and/or a dollop of coconut whipped cream. Optionally, add a spring of fresh mint to enhance the presentation and add a refreshing aroma.
Notes
- Medjool dates provide natural sweetness; adjust the amount to match your sweetness preference.
- The frozen riced cauliflower adds creaminess and nutrition without overpowering the lemon flavor.
- Ground turmeric adds a subtle earthy note and potential anti-inflammatory benefits.
- If using different plant-based milk, choose unsweetened versions to control sugar content.
- For a frostier smoothie, add more ice cubes incrementally.
- Garnishes like lemon zest, coconut whipped cream, and mint enhance flavor and presentation but are optional.
