...jep. Somehow my green smoothies never really end up looking green, so that's definitely something I'm going to work on. But for now, we're going to work with this:
Broccoli. Yes, you saw and read right.
I made myself a huge bowl of just plain slightly steamed broccoli yesterday and couldn't finish it, so instead of just eating the same thing again today, I tried to come up with something else. And why not, I thought, try and throw it in a smoothie!?
So, that's exactly what I did ;)
In the mixer went:
- 1/2 a frozen banana (I used the unfrozen one only for the picture ;P)
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 orange
- 2/3 of that bowl of slightly steamed broccoli
- 1 large tablespoon non-fat Greek yogurt
- three times the amount of vanilla-soy yogurt
- low fat milk to make it a bit thinner
I have to admit that I'd probably have went for more yellow/orange-ish fruits if I had had them, but I simply used all the things I had on hand. But how about mango, oranges and banana with broccoli?! Just get creative!
And: It actually tasted really good!!! I would be lying if I didn't say I wasn't sceptical, and saying that you don't taste the broccoli at all would also be a lie, but it definitely wasn't that bad and the broccoli mixed well with the sourness of the orange and the berryness of...well the berries ;)
Go have fun mixing fruits and veggies together!! I feel like spring is just asking for that extra portion of fun, colour and health :)
