Cauliflower Zucchini Smoothie, 3 Ways

by Alexandra Dawson, In My Bowl

Recently craving greener, more earthy smoothies, made with just a bit less banana and just a bit more avocado and unsweetened produce, my cauliflower zucchini smoothie has become our morning staple; nutritive, balanced and also subtly sweet and wonderfully rich and creamy without leaving me overly full. Taking the smoothie’s quintessential base ingredients- zucchini, cauliflower, avocado, and banana- below you’ll find our three variations- one green, one purple, and one pink. Perfect for babe (stirred into diced banana or ripe avocado) we serve ours on the extra thick side, mine topped with granola and a side of piping black coffee.
