In this Peanut Butter, Banana and Cauliflower Smoothie, peanut butter, bananas, cauliflower, almond milk, and a splash of vanilla are blended to perfection.
When it comes to smoothies, some ingredients seem obvious -- bananas, blueberries, even kale gets a pass these days. But cauliflower?
Apparently, it’s a thing.
When my husband started adding cauliflower to our smoothies I was very skeptical, to say the least. To my surprise, it didn’t change the taste at all. Instead, the cauliflower imparted a super creamy texture. In fact, since cauliflower has a fairly neutral flavor, it can be tossed it into pretty much any smoothie recipe!
Tossing a cup of frozen vegetables or even a handful of leafy greens into a smoothie is a sneaky and delicious way to incorporate more veggies into your diet. So feel free to toss a handful of cauliflower into your blender next time you’re making a smoothie. Or, if you’d prefer, try out the simple blend below.
