- Add 1 cup milk to a large blender.
- Add the drained dates to the blender.
- Add 2 tablespoons almond butter, 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/16 teaspoon salt to the blender.
- Add 3/4 cup frozen cauliflower florets and 6 large ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend on high until completely smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides and blending again if needed to eliminate any chunks.
- Divide the smoothie between two glasses.
- If desired, drizzle additional almond butter and sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes
Note 1
: Any milk works. I like using plant-based milk best.
Macadamia nut milk
is my favorite and unsweetened vanilla almond milk is a close second. To keep this smoothie vegetarian or vegan, don’t use dairy milk.
Note 2
: I recommend a slow-roasted and lightly salted almond butter. If you don’t enjoy eating it straight from the jar, it won’t add a whole lot to this smoothie.
Storage
:
Leftovers don’t store well; make this smoothie right before you plan to enjoy it.
