Healthy Dessert Smoothie Recipes
I love a decadent dessert. Some of my favorites include my Creamy Chocolate Mousse, Vanilla Raspberry Pannacotta, Champagne Ombre Cake, and more. This love of desserts inspired this list of Healthy Smoothies That Taste Like Desserts.
These creamy, easy smoothie recipes are a great way to enjoy the delicious taste of a dessert while still being nourishing and beneficial for our health.
I have compiled this list of my favourite smoothies that taste like classic, well-loved desserts. But these smoothies are also packed with nutrients and health benefits.
The Best Ingredients To Make Smoothies Thick & Creamy
Frozen bananas
Adding frozen bananas to your smoothie recipe is the easiest way to not only make your smoothie thick and creamy but to also add a little natural sweetness. The texture of the frozen banana will easily give your smoothie a dessert like texture and taste.
Frozen Cauliflower
If you're looking for a lower carb/keto friendly smoothie base, cooked and frozen cauliflower is what you need. Simply steam or boil the cauliflower, allow it to cool and store in the freezer in a ziploc bag. Use as a base for any smoothie. I often add it to my Blackberry Strawberry Smoothie recipe.
Xantham Gum
This is a little trick that I LOVE using to make any smoothie taste just like dessert. Simply add a tiny bit of xantham gum (½ teaspoon is more than enough) to your blender when making your smoothie.
Xantham gum is a great way to make your smoothie extra thick and fluffy. It is my favorite thing to add to chocolate smoothies.
Storing & Freezing Smoothies
Storing smoothies: Smoothies can be stored in a mason jar or a glass covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing smoothies: Pour the smoothies into an ice cube tray or freeze in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Allow to thaw slightly and blend before serving.
