Veggie Loaded Green Smoothie

This veggie loaded green smoothie is veggie loaded to the max! Not only is it packed with spinach, but we’re adding frozen cauliflower in for extra creaminess + volume. You would never guess that this white veggie is hidden in here. And neither would your kids!

Why green smoothies?

If you’ve been around here for a minute, you know I love green smoothies. They are such a simple way to get veggies in, and the beauty of adding spinach or kale into a smoothie is that you don’t even taste it. Add some fruit + a nut butter and the flavor transforms completely.

Tools for perfect green smoothies

The blender really does matter when you’re blending greens into your favorite smoothie. I absolutely love the kitchenmaid k400 blender. It has a smoothie button option and blends for 30 seconds to creamy perfection.

If your blender isn’t as powerful as you’d like, here’s a tip to still end with a non-gritty smoothie.

Add your liquid + greens and fully blend that first. After your greens are broken down and no longer pieces, then add the remaining ingredients. This is how I used to make my green smoothies before my powerful blender upgrade.

How to make a green smoothie

Simply add all of your ingredients into a high speed blender and blend on high for 30 seconds, until smooth and creamy.

If you don’t have a high speed blender, use this tip of first blending the greens + liquid, then adding the remaining ingredients and fully blending on high for 30 seconds.
