Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plant-based yogurt
- 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower rice
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk*
Flavor and Protein
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1 serving vanilla plant-based protein powder
- 4-6 mint leaves
- 1 tbsp cacao nibs (optional)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Place plant-based yogurt, frozen cauliflower rice, ice, non-dairy milk, matcha powder, vanilla plant-based protein powder, and mint leaves into a single-serve blender like a NutriBullet.
- Blend Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the frozen cauliflower and ice are completely broken down.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness of the shake; add additional non-dairy milk if you desire a thinner consistency and blend briefly again.
- Serve: Pour the shake into a glass and optionally sprinkle cacao nibs on top for added crunch and flavor.
Notes
- You can use any non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk based on preference.
- The frozen cauliflower rice adds creaminess and fiber without altering the flavor significantly.
- For a sweeter shake, consider adding a natural sweetener like agave or maple syrup.
- The cacao nibs are optional but provide a delightful texture contrast and chocolate notes.
- This shake is best consumed immediately for freshness and optimal nutrient intake.
