Recipe type: Smoothies
Serves: 1 large smoothie (3 c)
Ingredients
- 1 c almond milk (I used unsweetened)
- 1½ c hulled strawberries
- ½ pear or ½ banana
- 1 c raw cauliflower florets
- 2 Tbsp rolled oats
- 1 Tbsp ground flax seed
- 1 pitted date or squeeze of agave, plus stevia or additional sweetener to taste
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 drops imitation butter flavor (optional; makes smoothie taste more like cake)
- 1 piece of beet, about the size of a quarter (optional, for brighter color. Careful, though: too much = purple smoothie!)
Directions
- Place ingredients in your blender and whiz until smooth.
- Enjoy!
Notes
-If you don't have a high-powered blender:
1. Swap out cauliflower for either ½ banana or ½ pear.
2. Use cooked beet (if using)
-If you do have a high-powered blender, make sure your cauliflower is as fresh as possible for best flavor!
-For a McDougall-friendly version, leave out the flax seed. Smoothie will then have 4g fat and 242 calories. (For an almost-zero-fat version, use rice milk.)
