Comforting, yet
refreshing smoothie.
Warming, yet cooling!
Try this new flavour combo of carrot and ginger with a sweetness of banana and creaminess of cauliflower. I love veggies in smoothies. If you still believe that cauliflower belongs only on a roasting tray, check again! It’s a wonderful powerful vegetable that boosts your daily diet with antioxidants and essential minerals and makes a great satisfying start to the day.
Ingredients
1/2 cup frozen or fresh (gently boiled and cooled) cauliflower
1/2 frozen banana
1 medium carrot
1 portion of protein powder of choice (vanilla recommended) (optional)
fresh turmeric, thumb-size (or 1 tsp ground turmeric or 1 tablet of curcumin)
fresh ginger, thumb size
pinch of black pepper
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp hemp seeds
1-1 1/2 cup plant-based milk and/or water (mix in the desired ratio; I usually use water with a bit of plant milk)
Method
Blend it all in a high-speed blender. For the liquid, use the amount you desire – I find that around 1 1/4 cup is a great amount, but you may want more or less depending on the consistency of the smoothie you would like. Eat and bloom!
