Ingredients for Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

Frozen Banana: An entire frozen banana! This is the key to making your smoothie super creamy and thick. It also ensures the frozen cauliflower really disappears into the smoothie.

Frozen Cauliflower: My strong preference is frozen cauliflower rice because it blends up better. It’s pretty widely available and relatively cheap. However, frozen cauliflower florets work too. Use what you have! Of note, you don’t want to use fresh cauliflower for this. You will definitely taste it. Frozen veggies are blanched before being frozen which is essential for the flavor and texture here. Of course, you certainly could blanch and freeze your own fresh cauliflower if you’re feeling ambitious.

Canned Full Fat Coconut Milk: Any milk will work of course, but if you want the authentic creamsicle feeling, you want full-fat coconut milk from a can.

Orange Juice: Fresh-squeezed is best!

Vanilla Protein Powder: Use plant-based to keep things vegan. My favorite brands are Tone It Up and Garden of Life.

Smoothie Tips & Tricks

• Blend longer than you think! Especially with the frozen cauliflower, you want to make sure the texture is completely smooth and it’s well-incorporated.
• Use a rubber or silicone spatula to scrape down the sides of your blender as needed to be sure everything blends well.
