Equipment
- Vitamix Blender or Regular blender
- Mason Jar or 20 oz glass
- Straw
Ingredients
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/3 cup Equip Prime Protein Powder *see notes for 15% off link
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower rice
- 6 cubes frozen coffee cubes or regular ice cubes
Instructions
- Add your unsweetened almond milk, cold brew coffee, or a few shots of your choice of espresso, plus vanilla and almond extracts.
- Blend well then add in your chocolate or vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, frozen cauliflower rice, plus the half of an avocado.
- Blend again, slowly at first then turn the speed up to get everything blended smoothly.
- Once you do not see anymore chunks of avocado or cauliflower rice, add in the frozen cubes of coffee or ice.
- Now I serve mine up in a glass quart jar, top with some sugar free whipped cream plus a garnish of sliced almonds and sugar free chocolate chips.
- This is only best if made fresh and consumed fresh.
- If you want to make it easier to create in the morning with limited time, have the coffee, extracts and almond milk in a jar pre-mixed. Have the avocado frozen as well as the cubes of ice or frozen coffee pre-portioned in a freezer bag. Then all you have to do is add liquid to the blender, then frozen chunks then protein powder!

For one serving of food, or one shake prepared as I have with the cauliflower rice has the following macros.
Why do you put frozen cauliflower rice in your smoothie? I put this in as an optional ingredient, as you can make it successfully without it, but it does add to the nutritional content. It adds 1 gram of net carb to the total and contains 35% of the daily value of vitamin C, 10% vitamin K, 7% folate, 6% vitamin B6 and 5% potassium. It's a real multivitamin enhancer that you will not be able to taste. The protein powder plus the coffee masks the taste really well. It is also the perfect ingredient to add to the fiber blend in this smoothie with 1.5 grams of fiber. You will also find that the cauliflower rice helps improve the creaminess of the smoothie since you need something to mimic the creaminess of the usual yogurt in standard smoothies.
