Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Frozen Bananas
  • 3/4 cup Frozen Cauliflower
  • 3 Dates
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Almond Butter
  • 2 teaspoons Flax Seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups Milk of Choice

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients: frozen bananas, frozen cauliflower, dates, ground cinnamon, almond butter, flax seeds, and milk of choice. It's always best to have everything ready to go.
  2. Start by placing the frozen bananas, frozen cauliflower, and dates into your blender. The order matters because you want the softer ingredients at the bottom for easier blending.
  3. Next, add the ground cinnamon and almond butter. They will impart their flavors throughout the shake, enriching it as you blend.
  4. Sprinkle in the flax seeds for added nutrition. They’ll blend seamlessly into the mixture, so you won’t even notice them.
  5. Finally, pour in the milk of choice. Adjust the amount depending on how thick or thin you prefer your shake.
  6. Secure the lid on your blender tightly. This step is crucial to avoid any messy surprises while blending!
  7. Blend on high until all the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is blended evenly.
  8. Once smooth, taste the shake to see if it needs more sweetness from additional dates or if it’s just right.
  9. Pour the Vanilla Cinnamon Date Shake into a glass and enjoy! You can also serve it over ice if you prefer it chilled.
  10. Feel free to top with extra flax seeds or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an aesthetic touch.

Notes

Now that you’ve got the basic Vanilla Cinnamon Date Shake down, let’s explore some ways you can make it your own!
  • Experiment with Fruits: Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost, or throw in some berries for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Try Different Nut Butters: While almond butter is delicious, consider using peanut butter or cashew butter for a different twist.
  • Protein Boost: Incorporate a scoop of your favorite protein powder to make it more filling, especially after workouts.
  • Sweetness Level: If you like it sweeter, add more dates or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
  • Flavor Enhancements: Add a dash of vanilla extract or a scoop of cocoa powder for a chocolate twist!
