This Creamy Cauliflower & Blueberry Smoothie is loaded with tons of antioxidants, fiber, nutrients, healthy fat and protein. You’ll be totally amazed that you can’t taste the cauliflower and will adore how smooth and creamy the cauli makes your morning blend!
Pin this for later!
Everyone was doing it….so I had to try too.
Putting frozen cauliflower in a smoothie sounded bizarre and even downright gross when I first heard about it. But the more I saw other smoothie lovers and drinkers adding it to their morning blend, I thought maybe I was missing out on an out-of-the-box idea of how to get different veggies into my family.
Fine. And me too. I’m not the biggest cauli lover on the planet, but I do know it is an awesome source of fiber, vitamins, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, and protein. So, I try to sneak that white veggie into our lives wherever I can….so I finally decided to give the cauliflower smoothie a whirl.
And guys, it’s not weird! Or gross. Or the least bit funky! Cauliflower makes a smoothie super creamy and veggie-loaded without having to add spinach into the mix (the slightest tint of green can send some kids (and grown-ups) running for the hills, this I know)….so adding frozen cauliflower into your morning smoothie is a great way get some morning veggies into even the most resistant of veggie eaters!

Nut butter is a spreadable blend of various kinds of nuts. Peanut butter is a nut butter, but there is also cashew butter, almond butter, and so on. Typically, nut butters are interchangeable in a recipe, so I put "nut butter" in my recipes so that people can use whatever kind they like best!

February 7, 2018 at 1:10 pmAre you steaming the frozen cauliflower first or putting it in your smoothie raw?

March 26, 2018 at 1:13 amI’m looking forward to trying this, however I’ve never used Collagen Powder before. I’m intrigued because I just finished Whole30 and now I’m trying Paleo. The one thing I really miss is my Vega protein powder in my smoothies. Do you have any suggestions on what I should look for in a Collagen Powder? What to avoid? Can you share which brand you prefer? Thanks in advance!

April 7, 2018 at 6:44 pmI use the collagen from Further Foods! I look for making sure it is JUST collagen for the ingredient and the collagen is from pasture raised and grass fed animals! I would avoid collagen with added sugar or are don’t share how the animals were raised!
