This was inspired by Sneaky Cinnamon Smoothie (thanks Mandy!). An energizing brekky in which you'll never taste the broccoli (what broccoli??!!). 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) |
Directions:
1. Steam the broccoli till bright green and softened, in a small pot with about 1/4 cup water.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Enjoy!
5. 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.
