BIRTHDAY CAKE SMOOTHIE

Birthday Cake Smoothie made with frozen papaya and topped with berries, Rawcology Matcha Latte coconut chips, sweet beet coconut chips, warm macadamia coconut butter, and rainbow sprinkles.

A nutritious, veggie and protein-packed smoothie that tastes like birthday cake? Count me in!

It may sound too good to be true, but this crowd-pleasing combo is low in sugar (well, minus the sprinkles!) and loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre, healthy fats, and plant-based protein! 

For one serving, blend together until smooth:

• 1 cup steamed-then-frozen cauliflower

• 1 cup frozen papaya, mango, or banana; substitute ice for keto (see note below*)

• 3 to 4 frozen strawberries (optional, for pink colour, or 1 to 2 tsp red beet crystals)

• 2 Tbsp Nuzest Clean Lean Smooth Vanilla protein powder

• 1 to 2 Tbsp cashew butter

• 1 Tbsp coconut flour

• 1 tsp white chia seeds (optional)

• 3/4 tsp pure almond extract, adjusted to taste

• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

• 1/2 to 1 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk, adjusted to desired consistency 

• Lakanto sugar-free monk fruit or sweetener of choice, adjusted to taste

• pinch salt

Note: This smoothie works well with frozen papaya, mango, or banana. I personally find that banana really takes over the flavour, so I prefer the other options, but do what works for you! Keto can substitute ice or use additional cauliflower and berries.
