Cooking Steps

1. Prepare your mise en place by measuring out all ingredients: 1 cup (100g) of cauliflower florets, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 medium ripe banana, 1 cup (240 ml) of almond milk, ½ cup (120g) of Greek yogurt, optional 1 tablespoon (15g) of honey, ½ teaspoon of ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, and optional ½ cup of ice cubes.

2. Begin by steaming the 1 cup (100g) of cauliflower florets. Use a stovetop pot with a steamer basket filled with 2.5 cm (1 inch) of water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat (approximately 180 °C/350 °F).

Steam the florets for 5-7 minutes until they’re tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

3. While the cauliflower is steaming, peel and slice the ripe banana into smaller chunks. This will make it easier to blend.

4. Once the cauliflower is tender, transfer it to a bowl and allow it to cool slightly for about 3-5 minutes. It should still be warm but not hot.

5. In a high-speed blender, add the cooled cauliflower, banana, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 cup (240 ml) of almond milk, ½ cup (120g) of Greek yogurt, optional 1 tablespoon (15g) of honey, ½ teaspoon of ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon.

If using, also add the ½ cup of ice cubes.

6. Secure the blender lid tightly. Begin blending on low speed to combine all ingredients for 30 seconds. Then, increase to high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary.

7. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more honey (optional). Blend for another 15-30 seconds to incorporate any added ingredients.

8. Once blended to your desired consistency, pour the smoothie into serving glasses. For an added texture boost, sprinkle optional chia seeds (1 tablespoon, 15g) on top just before serving.

9. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy this nourishing Cauliflower Turmeric Smoothie as a rejuvenating start to your day or a revitalizing snack!
