Eggs are usually my breakfast of choice. Along with my daily raw carrot.
But every now and then a girl just wants a smoothie. And when I do, this is my go-to recipe.
It’s creamy, fruity, and delicious. And packs a powerful nutritional punch, thanks to a surprise ingredient…read on to find out what it is.
Let’s start with the other ingredients…all of which are pretty amazing.
Blueberries are totally yummy and loaded with antioxidants. They reduce DNA damage which may protect against aging…um, sign me up! They are easy to find frozen. Buy organic if you can, but don’t beat yourself up if you can’t.
Primal Kitchen Vanilla Coconut Collagen Fuel is my protein powder of choice, for super clean ingredients and amazing taste. The protein comes from collagen peptides, which support firmer skin, stronger nails and hair and a better body. Yes please!
Almond milk (or whatever nut milk you prefer) provides the liquid necessary to blend and adds additional creamy flavor. Look for one without added sugar…the Collagen Fuel and the berries will give you all the sweetness you need.
And now for the surprise ingredient…
Frozen cauliflower florets! These are so easy to keep on hand, and add B vitamins, vitamin C, choline, fiber and a whole host of antioxidants and phytonutrients. And you won’t taste them…I promise!
This is super easy to make…feel free to vary the proportions if you want it thinner or thicker. I definitely recommend a high powered blender for this. I am completely head over heels in love with my Vitamix, but NutriBullet is awesome too.
happy healthy and hot secret smoothie
one cup almond milk (or nut milk of choice)
two scoops Primal Kitchen Vanilla Coconut Collagen Fuel
one half cup frozen blueberries
one half cup frozen cauliflower florets
Put all ingredients in a high powered blender like a Vitamix or NutriBullet. Blend on high and serve immediately. Total yum!
