Spinach and Cauliflower Smoothie

Yield amount

2 Servings

Preparation time

5 minutes

Smoothies are a great way to help us reach our 5 fruits and vegetables per day. This recipe does just that, with nutrients important for breastfeeding moms, like choline, calcium, and vitamin D, and will keep you satisfied on a busy day. Try making this ahead, and keeping it in the freezer. Pop it back in the blender for a quick snack or pick-me-up!

This is also a great recipe for little helpers.

Ingredients

1 cup milk

1⁄2 cup plain low-fat or non-fat yogurt (or vanilla flavored)

1 banana (peeled and sliced)

1 cup spinach

1 cup apple (chopped)

1⁄2 cup cauliflower (frozen)

1⁄2 cup oats

Instructions

Wash hands and then rinse fruits and vegetables before getting started.
Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour into 2 glasses and enjoy as a snack or with a protein food like nuts or an egg!

Notes

If you don’t have frozen cauliflower, you can also use fresh cauliflower that’s been steamed. You may need to add ½ cup to 1 cup of ice to keep the smoothie cold. ½ cup frozen riced cauliflower works well in this too!

Try adding other fruits like pineapple, mango, or pears for a different flavor.

Equipment you’ll need:
