Recommended special equipment
Blender or food processor
You could add the powder with the cocoa, but adding additional ingredients would change the nutritional value of the recipe. You would need to recalucate based on the ingredients you use.
You can use our suggestions under the Instruction steps to experiment with different flavor combinations.
Yes, that would work well! Just keep an eye on the ingredients in the protein powder as many have artificial sweeteners.
That is going to depend on how large or finely chopped the cauliflower is.
It has not been tested with peanut butter, but you could certainly try it!
It adds protein and helps to thicken the shake.
I'm not sure I would recommend that as the cauliflower helps thicken the shake. You would not get the same consistency.
