Super Blue Green Smoothie - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/3 cup blueberries, frozen
1/3 cup orange juice
1/2 - 2/3 cup broccoli floret
1/3 cup soy yogurt (plain and unsweetened- or you could try vanilla)
1 large banana, very ripe
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey (optional) or 1 tablespoon other liquid sweetener (optional)
Preparation
-
Steam the broccoli till bright green and softened, in a small pot with about 1/4 cup water.
IF you have an immersion blender, you can then simply toss the other ingredients in the pot, blend in there, and ta-da, your smoothie's made! Or you can transfer the broccoli and the rest to a blender or food processor.
Be sure to blend very well, especially if trying to hide veggies from children- and in that case, probably a good idea to use a sweeter yogurt or add the honey. However, it's entirely optional.
Enjoy!
Note: For the soy yogurt, I use homemade tofu sour cream- just soft tofu blended with lemon juice to taste and a pinch of salt.
