Description
This Creamy Chocolate Coffee Date Shake is a nutritious, indulgent smoothie blending the rich flavors of chocolate, coffee, and tahini with natural sweetness from Medjool dates. Enhanced with frozen cauliflower for creaminess and optional chia seeds for added nutrition, it’s perfect for a refreshing and energizing treat or breakfast on-the-go.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 large Medjool dates, pitted
- ½ cup coconut milk (best if cold)
- ½ cup cold brew or leftover cold coffee
- ¾ cup frozen cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1-2 tablespoons cacao powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Optional Add-ins
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Pit the Medjool dates to remove the seeds, and gather all other ingredients measured as per the recipe.
- Combine in Blender: Add the pitted dates, cold coconut milk, cold brew coffee, frozen cauliflower, tahini, 1 tablespoon cacao powder, and vanilla bean paste into a high-powered blender. Optionally add chia seeds if desired.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add more coconut milk a little at a time to reach desired consistency.
- Adjust Flavor: For a stronger chocolate taste, add an additional tablespoon of cacao powder and blend again briefly.
- Serve: Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately. This recipe serves 1, but can be easily doubled to serve 2.
Notes
- Frozen cauliflower adds creaminess without altering the flavor much and adds fiber.
- The shake can be customized with extra cacao powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Use cold brew coffee or leftover coffee chilled for optimal taste and texture.
- Chia seeds are optional but add healthy omega-3 fats and fiber.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more or less coconut milk to suit your preference.
