Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup frozen riced cauliflower
- 1 cup frozen mango
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons bee pollen, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 pinch crushed black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups milk (any kind of milk will work)
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into a blender in the order listed and blend until smooth.
Notes
- Frozen riced cauliflower works best here. Raw or steamed both work, just make sure it goes in frozen. You cannot taste it!
- Black pepper and coconut oil are important. Don't skip them! They work together to maximize the turmeric's absorption and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Add a scoop of protein powder if you'd like an extra boost. Vanilla flavor works especially well.
- Want a little heat? Add a small pinch of cayenne pepper.
- If using fresh mango instead of frozen, add a handful of ice to get that thick, creamy texture.
