Cauliflower. smoothie. like this? as I said in my Instagram, it seems crazy to mix cauliflower in a sweet mix, but how about giving a daring and breaking some patterns in the kitchen? I had cauliflower rice in my freezer (which is nothing more than cauliflower well crushed in the shape of rice) and I decided to use it in my smoothie with a few more ingredients… guess what? It was very good, because the cauliflower itself has a super neutral flavor.
Many people have low intake of vegetables and vegetables which can lead to long-term nutritional deficiencies, in addition to poor digestion and low levels of energy. I’m not saying that to eat vegetables you should hit them in the blender and throw it down your throat, but I’m just awakening another way to have more fiber and micronutrients in your diet and in a delicious way, of course.
To start I love smoothies! It’s my time to mix all my functional ingredients in one dose! I usually freeze several vegetables and green leaves if I see that I won’t have time to consume them fresh, which had already seen a hand in the wheel for any smoothie recipe and I still avoid waste of food!
This was my recipe, but feel free to change and dare with other ingredients! As I explained, most of the ingredients were frozen in my freezer, but you can use the fresh ingredients! The fruit I always put frozen to make it creamy and refreshing!
Recipe
Ingredientes:
- 3/4 cup cooked and frozen cauliflower
- 1/2 cup. of raw and frozen kale (or kale)

- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Fresh ginger chips to taste
Directions

as ive said on my Instagram, You Might Think I Am Crazy, But For This Smoothie I Added Frozen And Unflavored Caulflower Rice. yep! I always have a bunch of frozen veggies and greens inside my freezer, especially if I think I wont be able to use them before they go bad. So I am not only avoiding food waste, but also adding more ingredients for my smoothies!
You can also freeze sweet potatoes, squash, cucumber, broccoli, etc… it helps me a lot doing that! how many time we buy food that we see going bad inside our fridge? Well, I have this complain through my clients, so I started to encourage them to freeze their stuff.
For this recipe, I used a Caulflower Rice that it was sitting inside my freezer for a few weeks! Surprisingly, this recipe came out so good and so nourishing that you have to try it yourself!
