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.
