Expert Tips
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add more frozen cauliflower or ice.
- If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add more kefir or coconut water.
- I love adding collagen for a boost of protein.
- If you use milk instead of kefir then your smoothie will be thinner. You can add a scoop of yogurt to thicken things up and add a creamy factor.
- Frozen banana and cauliflower add thickness to the smooth without having to add a bunch of ice.
Enjoy if right out of the blender for best results. To enhance the flavor, use Lifeway vanilla kefir instead of plain kefir.
You can’t taste the cauliflower at all, the flavor is masked by all the other flavors in the smoothie. All the cauliflower does is add incredible creaminess.
This isn’t dairy free but it can easily be made dairy free by subbing kefir with full fat coconut milk.
