A tropical smoothie with lots of vitamin C...
This tropical smoothie has been on repeat in my house recently. It’s made with classic ingredients like pineapple, mango, banana, and coconut, but it also has a secret ingredient: frozen cauliflower. I love adding the frozen cauliflower, it helps to balance out the sweet fruit, it adds vitamins c, k and b6, and it helps to give the smoothie its frozen texture. Don’t skip the vanilla and nutmeg, they really add extra tropical notes too. If you’re dreaming of vacation, this smoothie is for you!

- ½ cup frozen cauliflower rice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, vanilla extract, or vanilla bean seeds
- 1 lime, juiced

Notes
This smoothie would be amazing with rum or tequila, so make a double batch this weekend.
