How to Make the Snickerdoodle Date Smoothie
1. Soften the Dates
Place the pitted dates in a cup of warm water for at least 5 minutes. This helps them soften and blend smoothly.
2. Blend the Ingredients
Add the soaked dates, almond milk, frozen cauliflower, tahini, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to a high-powered blender.
3. Blend Until Smooth
Blend until creamy and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of extra almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Serve
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Serves 1 (easily double for two servings).
