Recipe Note
- Buying and using frozen cauliflower and peaches (or carrots) adds convenience, helps reduce waste, eliminates the need to add ice to your smoothie, and helps make a smooth consistency.
- Pre-measure the cauliflower and peaches (or carrots) ahead of time, put them in small storage bags or other containers, and store in the freezer so when you’re ready to make a smoothie the ingredients are ready to go.
- Choose a non-dairy milk alternative product fortified with calcium and vitamins A, D, and B12.
*Customize your smoothie with your choice of milk. If you must avoid tree nuts (almond), flax milk is a keto-friendly alternative.
