2. Ingredients
-
1 cup frozen blueberries
-
½ cup frozen cauliflower florets (steamed and cooled before freezing)
-
1 small banana (fresh or frozen)
-
½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for vegan option)
-
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
-
1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
-
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
-
Ice cubes (if you prefer a thicker texture)
3. Instructions
-
Prepare the cauliflower:
If you haven’t done so already, lightly steam cauliflower florets for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Let them cool completely, then freeze. This helps reduce any strong flavor and gives a smoother texture. -
Blend the ingredients:
Add the frozen blueberries, frozen cauliflower, banana, yogurt, milk, almond butter, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and cinnamon to a high-speed blender. -
Blend until smooth:
Blend on high for 30–60 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed, until the mixture is silky and fully combined. Add a few ice cubes if you want a thicker consistency. -
Adjust to taste:
Taste and adjust sweetness or texture. You can add a bit more milk for a thinner smoothie or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness. -
Serve:
Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a few blueberries or chia seeds for a pretty touch.

7. Tips
-
Use frozen cauliflower: It blends smoother and gives the best texture without any noticeable taste.
-
Make it dairy-free: Use coconut yogurt or oat milk for a vegan version.
-
Add extra nutrition: A scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, or flaxseeds turns this smoothie into a more filling meal.
-
Make ahead: Blend all ingredients except the liquid and freeze in portions. In the morning, just add milk and blend for a quick breakfast.
-
Boost flavor: A few fresh mint leaves or a squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the taste beautifully.
