A green smoothie that tastes good? That’s right. This smoothie is the best of both worlds– a deliciously sweet and peanut butter-y flavor and healthy ingredients. This smoothie is low sugar, simple, filling, and gets a serving of vegetables in. Vegetables like spinach and cauliflower are tasteless and act as a great base for smoothies. Using ingredients you may already have from a salad or that you keep in your freezer, this smoothie is inexpensive and quick to make before class in the morning. As always, you can substitute and add whatever fruits and vegetables you like.


Cook time: 5 mins

Serves: 1


Ingredients:

  • cauliflower
  • spinach
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1 cup almond (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 scoop protein powder of choice
  • cinnamon (optional but recommended)

Instructions:

  1. Throw everything in the blender and top with your milk (or water). Blend until smooth. Add more milk to get a consistency you like.
