Green smoothies these days! They make even a nutrition focused veggie lover scratch her head. Cauliflower? Zucchini? Cabbage? I guess I just don’t understand! I don’t want to yuck other’s yum’s but for now I prefer my cauliflower roasted and my zucchini in noddle form!
However, green smoothies in general, those that include a cup of leafy greens, like spinach or kale and lots of fruit, in my opinion are a great way to add some extra veggies to your breakfast or a snack. Adding just 1 cup of spinach, like I did in the Green Mango Smoothie, doesn’t change the taste one bit!

I took my niece’s favorite two things and combined them. I pre-planned and made this smoothie in a mason jar minus the almond milk and put it in the freezer. When I’m ready I will just put it in the blender and add the milk. Thanks Amanda
