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. It blends in completely and gives the smoothie a creamier texture.
- Don't skip the black pepper and coconut oil. They sound odd in a smoothie, but turmeric needs a little fat and pepper to do its thing. You won't taste either one.
- Add a scoop of protein powder if you'd like. Vanilla works especially well with the mango and cinnamon.
- 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.
