This Blueberry Broccoli Detox Smoothie is sweeter than you think and seriously healthy!
I’ve been thinking ahead to my ritual New Year’s detox and have been experimenting with green smoothies recently. My parents stopped by a few days ago, bearing wonderful gifts: a beautiful broccoli crown from their winter garden and a new rose bush (both pictured above).
The broccoli was so fresh that I wanted to eat it raw, to best capture its nutrients. Being in such a green state of mind, I decided to try whipping up a broccoli smoothie! I came up with this quick and surprisingly tasty recipe detailed below.
The broccoli taste is actually very subtle. Overall, this smoothie is sweet going down and has a sweet aftertaste. Want it even sweeter? Add some honey or agave nectar.
Blueberry-Broccoli Detox Smoothie
Simply blend the following ingredients in a blender on high for approximately one minute:
–1 cup coconut milk
–1/4 cup orange juice
–1 cup fresh blueberries
–1 cup fresh broccoli florets (raw)
–1/2 frozen banana
–1/2 cup frozen raspberries
Makes one 16oz. smoothie
Note: I tend to like my smoothies on the runny side. If you prefer a creamier consistency, use frozen blueberries and add some soft tofu or plain greek yogurt to thicken it up.
