This easy Chocolate Cauliflower Smoothie is sweet and creamy. You'd never know there's cauliflower in it.
This Chocolate Cauliflower Smoothie is made in minutes. With its sweet chocolaty taste and creamy texture, you would never guess there's cauliflower in it.
Smoothies are a great way to hide vegetables. Here the sweetness of the banana and the rich bitter cacao powder hide the flavor of the cauliflower.
Another recipe with hidden veggies is my Coconut Mango Cucumber Smoothie. A smoothie bowl to try is my Vegan Beet Smoothie Bowl.
Smoothies are also a great place to add beneficial spices like turmeric and ginger. My Turmeric and Ginger Smoothie is sweet and full of healthy spices.
Smoothies can also have a boost of energy, like my Vegan Coffee Smoothie recipe.

🧾 Ingredients
- Riced cauliflower: Has a mild flavor so you don't taste it. I used frozen riced cauliflower because it blends well into a smoothie. You could also use fresh cauliflower.
- Frozen banana: Adds a sweet creamy flavor.
- Chia seeds: Add a mild nutty flavor. Also adds protein and fiber.
- Cacao powder: For its bitter chocolate flavor. I used raw organic cacao powder, but you could also use cocoa powder.
- Vanilla coconut yogurt: Adds a sweet-tart flavor.
- Oat milk: I used oat milk because it is sweet and creamy but you could use soy milk, almond milk, or your favorite dairy-free milk.
