Recipes for a Reset: Strawberry “Milkshake” Smoothie

You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to incorporate a serving of antioxidant- and fiber-rich cauliflower in a fruit smoothie—in fact, you might find yourself adding frozen cauliflower to your blender more often. Hear us out: Frozen cauliflower is blanched before freezing, so it’s softer than its raw counterpart and blends up velvety-smooth. This process also helps tame cauliflower’s flavor, and since strawberries, bananas, and mangoes all have their own distinctive flavors (especially when combined), adding frozen cauliflower to the mix won’t have a discernible effect.

Raw unsalted cashews and whole milk add healthy fat and a sweet, creamy texture without the tang of yogurt, which reminds us more of an old-fashioned milkshake than a smoothie. Add a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried berries at the end for an enticing pop of color.  

Ingredients:

• 2 large strawberries
• 1 frozen banana
• ½ cup frozen cauliflower florets
• ½ cup whole milk
• ¼ cup frozen cubed mango
• ¼ cup raw unsalted cashews
• Crushed freeze-dried strawberries or raspberries, for sprinkling, optional
  

Directions:

1. Combine all the ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. 
2. Sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberries if desired.
