Description

This blueberry cherry smoothie is thick and creamy with a fruity blueberry and cherry flavor. It's made without banana and contains hidden veggies like spinach and cauliflower.

Ingredients

Scale

handful spinach
1 cup frozen pitted cherries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup steamed then frozen cauliflower*
2 scoops collagen peptides (or your favorite protein powder)
1 tsp beet powder (optional)
1/2 cup yogurt (I used unsweetened coconut yogurt)

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a high powered blender. I like to add the spinach first, then frozen fruit, cauliflower, powders and the yogurt last.
Blend, starting at a low speed and gradually increasing the speed until the smoothie is well blended with a thick, creamy texture. If your smoothie is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water or milk.
Once the smoothie is well blended, scoop it into a bowl or tall glass. You can add toppings or enjoy without.

Notes

*For the cauliflower, I steam cauliflower florets in a steamer pot until tender, then lay them out on a parchment lined baking sheet and pop them in the freezer. Once frozen, I place the cauliflower in ziplock bags and store in the freezer for smoothies. It's great to prep ahead of time and lasts for months.
