Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 3 large Medjool dates, pitted
- ½ cup coconut milk (best if cold)
- ½ cup cold brew or leftover cold coffee
- ¾ cup frozen cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1-2 tablespoons cacao powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Pit the Medjool dates. If dates are hard, soak them in 1 cup of very warm water for at least 5 minutes to soften them for blending.
- Combine in Blender: Add the pitted dates, cold coconut milk, cold brew coffee, frozen cauliflower, tahini, 1 tablespoon cacao powder, and vanilla extract to a high-powered blender. Add optional chia seeds if desired.
- Blend Smooth: Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add additional coconut milk if the shake is too thick to reach your desired consistency.
- Adjust Chocolate Flavor: If you prefer a stronger chocolate taste, add an extra tablespoon of cacao powder and blend again briefly.
- Serve: Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately. This recipe serves 1; feel free to double the ingredients to serve 2.
Notes
- If frozen cauliflower is not available or preferred, ice can be used as an alternative, though the shake may be less thick.
- To soften dates quickly, soak pitted dates in warm water for at least 5 minutes before blending.
- Adjust the cacao powder quantity to customize the chocolate intensity to your liking.
- Adding chia seeds boosts fiber and omega-3 fatty acids without altering flavor significantly.
