Snickerdoodle Tahini Smoothie
This snickerdoodle tahini smoothie is a healthy smoothie with dates that tastes like dessert but is nutrient-packed and perfect for any diet. It's creamy, vegan, and naturally gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 3 large Medjool dates, pitted (¼ cup packed)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or light coconut milk)
- ¾ cup frozen cauliflower florets
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 scoop protein powder of choice
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- ¼ cup gluten-free rolled oats
Instructions
- Place the pitted dates in a bowl and cover them with 1 cup of warm water. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes to soften.
- While the dates are soaking, measure out the rest of your ingredients and set them aside for a smooth workflow.
- Combine the pitted dates, almond milk, frozen cauliflower, tahini, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cacao powder, protein powder, flaxseed meal, and oats in a high-powered blender.
- Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides or add a splash more almond milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Pour into a glass, dust with an extra pinch of cinnamon for garnish, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
To customize the recipe for your diet, swap dates for a low-carb sweetener, add extra protein powder, or substitute tahini with sunflower seed butter. Soak dates overnight for quicker preparation in the morning.
