RE: Detox Day with smoothie - Plant-Based

Well you inspired me!

I put a flowerette of frozen Cauliflower, a finger of frozen carrot, a dash of Silverbeet (kinda spinach...), a banana, peanut butter and my homemade chocolate sauce in mine this morning- it is so thick- there's like 3 meals in there, but so delicious and healthy!

Sort:  

Woow I love frozen veggies, They are cold and thick :)))) like icecream :)

Yes but they are fresh veggies that I froze, not the weird tasting frozen veggies that you can buy in the supermarket...and I know that makes a huge difference too.

It was actually my new osteopath that suggested I put frozen cauliflower in my daily fruit chcoolate smoothies and so I thought why not add carrot and something green too, so I put the caulis in with yellow fruit (pineapple/Bananas/Apples), carrots in the orange fruit, like mandarins, mango..and the green spinach in my berry smoothies and the fruit with enough chcolate, I can't taste them which is great cause I don't really like the taste of veggies- raw or cooked... but I do love to eat them and now if I can drink them every morning, well, like is perfect then! 😃

Hahah sure they are. I don't buy those frozen fruits from supermarket either. They don't smell good as I put them out for a little bit. I also freeze avocado and banana on occasion because I enjoy the cool, fresh, and ice creamy flavour they provide to my smoothie. I'll do Cocoa powder tomorrow as well:) I bet your combo will be delicious, with banana and peanut butter:) It sounds like a delicious chocolate chip frappe with milk froth, yet it's so much better for my stomach. Haha (and brain, too)

The only frozen fruits I buy is berries and mango, otherwise I buy them all fresh, shop them up and put them in the freezer

The chocolate sauce that I make is not a processed one- they are way too full of bad sugars, so I make my own with raw cocoa powder, a touch of raw sugar and boiling water to mix it, then let it cool and keep it in the fridge.

It's still quite bitter as I don't need to add to much raw sugar to it cause the fruit makes it sweet.

I hope that you enjoy it the new recipe! 😋
