Ever thought of adding cauliflower to your smoothie? For some of you it probably seems a little weird… but trust me, it’s delicious! Cauliflower gives this smoothie it’s thick creamy texture plus it is packed full of vitamins and minerals. Replacing banana with cauliflower is great if you’re someone who is cutting down on sugar or just wants to try something a little different. The addition of blueberries (which is a low sugar fruit) adds a natural sweetness to this smoothie. Such a delicious and easy way to sneak some extra veggie serves in for the day! Hope you enjoy this recipe xx

Glad I’m not the only one that likes to put cauliflower in a smoothie! I’ve never actually used avocado in a smoothie, but I bet it tastes really nice!
It’s very new for me! But loving it! The avocado is yummy, makes it extra creamy xx
I’m loving low-sugar smoothies right now. This one looks tasty and beautiful!
Thank you and Me too! I’ve been experimenting with different veggies and loving it! Xx
Wow, avocado and cauliflower! That’s such a brilliant idea Tiana. I will definitely try it out!
Thank you!! Yay I hope you like it xx
Hi. Just found you on IG and wanted to try a recipe. You have listed vegan vanilla powder, and then you also have vanilla powder as well. Is this the same thing?
Hi Natalie ! No These are different one is vegan vanilla “protein” powder and the other is just vanilla bean powder:) hope this helps xx
Is it frozen and precooked cauliflower or could you buy it fresh and put it in the freezer? Keen to try!
I bought mine fresh then steamed and then put in the freezer … I haven’t tried non steamed cauliflower… it might just not be as creamy but I couldn’t really say if it would work or not 🙂
