Chocolate Cauliflower Milkshake

Chocolate and cauliflower? Yes, please! Frozen cauliflower makes smoothies thick and creamy but you don’t taste it at all. The taste and texture of steamed and frozen whole florets is best but you can also use frozen riced cauliflower in this recipe.

​This recipe was developed by Happy Kids Kitchen for Veggie Buds Club.

"Learn to Love Veggies" Tip

Make sure to have kids add the cauliflower to the blender along with the other ingredients so they know the veggie is in there!

Chocolate Cauliflower Milkshake

Author: Happy Kids Kitchen

Chocolate and cauliflower? Yes, please! Frozen cauliflower makes smoothies thick and creamy but you don’t taste it at all. The taste and texture of steamed and frozen whole florets is best but you can also use frozen riced cauliflower in this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 heaping cup frozen cauliflower florets* (or 1 cup frozen riced cauliflower)
• 1 frozen banana
• 2 pitted dates (or 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup)
• 2 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds, optional
• 3 tablespoons raw cacao (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
• 1 cup milk (any kind)
• Handful of ice cubes
• Mini chocolate chips and/or chocolate sprinkles for toppings

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients except for toppings to a blender. Blend, stopping once or twice to make sure no chunks remain. Add in additional ice to make thicker or more milk to thin out the drink. Pour into glasses then sprinkle with any desired toppings. Enjoy!​​
2. Have some milkshake leftover? Freeze in popsicle molds to enjoy later as a frozen treat!

Notes:

*To make frozen cauliflower florets, first cut a head of cauliflower into medium sized pieces. Steam cauliflower until tender, drain, and set aside to cool. Once cool, freeze in a singer layer until solid then store in a container or plastic bag in the freezer.
