    Chocolate Cauliflower Smoothie

    Jump to Recipe Pin Video

    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.

    🧾 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.

    You could, but I don't recommend it. Smoothies are best made fresh to keep the nutrients.

    💭 Tips

    • For this smoothie recipe, I used frozen cauliflower rice. You could also use raw cauliflower florets.
    • I only used ½ cup of riced cauliflower because I didn't want the smoothie to have a cauliflower flavor. Taste as you go to see how you like it.

    👩🏻‍🍳 FAQs

    Does Cauliflower Need To Be Cooked For Smoothies?

    No, you don't need to cook cauliflower for a smoothie. I used frozen riced cauliflower because it's a great pantry staple. I can have riced cauliflower anytime.

    Is Frozen Cauliflower Good In a Smoothie?

    Yes! Not only is cauliflower mild, but the frozen banana, cacao powder, and vanilla yogurt overpower the flavor of the cauliflower.
