Creamy Blueberry Cauliflower Smoothie
Servings 1 People
Ingredients
- 1 cup steamed frozen cauliflower florets (see video!)
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- ½ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt*
- ½ banana or 2-3 pitted dates
- 2 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 cup water
- 1 scoop collagen peptides (optional)**
- 1/2 -1 tsp ground cinnamon (depending on how much you like cinnamon!)
- Pinch of salt
- Cacao nibs for topping (optional)
- *I like to use Greek yogurt in smoothies for extra protein. If all you have is regular whole milk yogurt, that works too!
- **I add this for extra protein after runs/workouts. Vital Proteins is my favorite brand.
Items you can prep ahead (optional)
- Prep cauliflower
- Steam, cool, and freeze the cauliflower
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. If too thick, add a bit more water and blend again.
- Serve topped with cacao nibs. I like to stir them into smoothies for a little crunch and they make me chew, which helps with digestion.
Notes
Substitutions:
- Make vegan: sub vegan Greek yogurt OR skip the yogurt and add an extra ⅓ cup water + tablespoon of nut or seed butter. Skip the collagen
- Use raspberries instead of blueberries
- Use steamed then frozen beets instead of cauliflower
- Use any nut or seed butter
Storage:
- Store leftovers smoothie covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Give it a stir before drinking
