Ingredients you will need
Ingredient Notes, Substitutes, & Alternatives
- Milk: Use your preferred milk. Almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk or soy milk all work well
- Banana (frozen): I like to use frozen ripe banana in smoothies as they add an ice cream like sweetness and texture, but any very ripe bananas will be fine in this smoothie.
- Cauliflower florets (frozen): I love adding frozen cauliflower to smoothies, it is mild in flavor so doesn't not change the taste of the smoothie. You can also use frozen cauliflower rice. I use pre-cooked cauliflower florets that have been frozen (I save leftovers from dinner).
- Medjool dates: Make sure you have destined your dates. If you are using delegate dates which are dryer, you might consider soaking the dates in hot water first to soften them.
- Cocoa: I use unsweetened cocoa powder, this can be substituted for cacao powder if you prefer.
- Peanut butter: I use a natural peanut butter that only has ground peanuts as an ingredient. You can also use other nut butters such as almond or cashew butter. You can also use sunflower butter for a nut free alternative.
- Chia seeds: I like to add small seeds to my smoothies as they are a great source of fiber. You can leave these out or try flaxseeds or hemp seeds.

How To Make This Recipe Suitable For Baby-Led-Weaning
- The ingredients in this smoothie are suitable for young children.
- Choose an unsalted peanut butter.
- If your child is under one year of age smoothies should not be used to substitute a 'milk feed' until this time all 'milk feeds' should either be breast milk or an appropriate infant formula. Smoothies can be offered as part of a meal or snack.
