Instructions

  • To prep the cauliflower, butternut squash and zucchini, fill the bottom of a large pot with 2 inches of water, add a steamer basket and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, add the chopped veggies and cover. Steam for 7-9 minutes, until lightly steamed but still firm with a crunch. You don't want them to be fully steamed and soft.
  • Transfer steamed veggies to a parchment lined baking sheet and allow to cool completely. Transfer to the freezer and freeze for 1 to 2 hours. Remove the tray from the freezer and transfer veggies to a reusable freezer bag like this one HERE. Store for up to 3 months in the freezer.
  • In a high speed blender, add in all ingredients and blend on high for 30-60 seconds or until smooth and enjoy!

Notes

*You can swap for any non dairy or regular milk. I often will even do half water and half non dairy milk for a lighter option.
