Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup cashew milk unsweetened
  • 1 scoop protein powder unflavored + unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower
  • 2 medjool dates pitted
  • 3 tbsp raw cashews
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure all ingredients accurately and have them ready for blending. Ensure the dates are pitted for smooth blending.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Place the cashew milk, protein powder, frozen cauliflower, pitted dates, raw cashews, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon into a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Serve: Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately. Optionally, add ice cubes to chill the shake further before drinking.

Notes

  • You can use any protein powder you prefer; the recipe author used Isopure Zero Carb Whey Isolate Protein Powder to reach protein intake over 30 grams.
  • If you want a sweeter shake, add an extra medjool date or ½ a banana for natural sweetness.
  • Any unsweetened non-dairy milk alternative works well, but make sure it is unsweetened to avoid added sugars.
