Calling all coffee lovers! We have a frozen mocha treat for you here that comes with a surprising twist. Cauliflower and ice cream!? You bet! It’s the surprise ingredient here. When used frozen it helps to add thickness and gets you closer to that 800 grams of fruits and veggies! If you love crunchy toppings like I do, try adding some cacao nibs as sprinkles. Chopped nuts, granola and coconut flakes would also be super tasty additions to compliment each mouthful of mocha deliciousness.
On-the-go? No problem! Just add a bit more almond milk and/or coffee to thin it out into a drinkable smoothie. It’s the perfect post-workout drink! And if you’re making this as an evening treat, try using decaf coffee instead to get all the mocha flavor without the jitters!
Note: I used casein protein powder which tends to mix up thicker than whey, adding to the “ice cream” texture. Whey will definitely still work! You may just need a bit less liquid or a bit more frozen fruit.
