- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency by adding more ice for a thicker smoothie or more liquids (orange juice, non-dairy milk, or coconut milk) if you prefer it thinner.

Notes
- Frozen banana helps create a creamy and chilled texture.
- Cauliflower adds fiber and nutrients without altering the flavor.
- Using full fat coconut milk enhances creaminess, but light coconut milk can be used for fewer calories.
- Adjust liquids and ice cubes to control smoothie consistency.
- Protein powder choice can vary based on dietary needs—unflavored protein or collagen peptides work well.
- Whipped coconut cream topping is optional but adds a rich finish.
