Ingredients

1 frozen banana
1 cup frozen cauliflower
1 small handful fresh mint leaves
1 large scoop vanilla protein powder
1 scoop Copina Co. Vanilla Beauty Plant-Based Collagen Boost Creamer
1 tsp spirulina powder
1 tbsp cacao nibs

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the frozen banana, frozen cauliflower, fresh mint leaves, vanilla protein powder, vanilla collagen creamer, and spirulina powder in a blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass.
Step 3: Top with extra mint leaves, cacao nibs, plant-based yogurt, and chia seeds if desired for added texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh spinach instead of cauliflower for a different green flavor and extra nutrients.
Add a splash of plant-based milk if the smoothie is too thick to blend smoothly.
For extra sweetness, include a drizzle of maple syrup or a few dates before blending.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking. Avoid freezing as it can affect the texture.

How to Serve

A white bowl filled with three distinct layers is placed on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is a smooth, thick teal cream or smoothie that fills most of the bowl. On top of the right side of this teal base, there is a rough, crumbly layer of light brown cookie dough or crumble, spreading partially and unevenly over the teal surface. Scattered over the brown layer and partly extending into the teal area are small, dark brown chocolate chips or chunks that add texture and contrast. A woman's hand holds a white spoon, dipping into the teal layer near the center of the bowl. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
