- ½ cup frozen cauliflower
- 2 medjool dates, pitted

- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including unsweetened cashew milk, protein powder, frozen cauliflower, medjool dates, raw cashews, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Notes
- You can use any protein powder you prefer; this recipe used Isopure Zero Carb Whey Isolate Protein Powder for over 30 grams of protein.
- For vegans, consider using a homemade protein powder as an alternative.
- If you like the shake sweeter, add an extra medjool date or half a banana.
- Any type of unsweetened non-dairy milk can be substituted for cashew milk.
