This recipe is inspired by the Creamy Chai Cauliflower Smoothie Bowl in Rise &Run by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky. The book has a heap of great ideas for healthy breakfasts and snacks. I’ve made a few changes to the original recipe, including adding rolled oats and protein powder, to make it a more substantial breakfast and ensure I hit my protein target. You can steam and freeze a head of cauliflower cut into florets to use as needed. You’ll also need half a frozen banana on hand. I’ve just started using a vanilla milkshake-flavoured protein powder; when I use a plain protein powder, I add a couple of Medjool dates for sweetness. Frozen (I mean actually still frozen) mixed berries work fabulously on this smoothie bowl, and it’s so easy just to pull a handful out when needed. Shoutout to Coco and her oatmeal topped with frozen berries, which prompted me to try unfrozen, frozen berries. This has 35-40g of protein, depending on what you decide to top it with.
