Why You’ll Love This Smoothie
This delicious berry smoothie is simple, full of nutrients, and will keep you full for hours. I always keep frozen berries in my freezer for quick and easy breakfasts and post-workout snacks.
Matcha has tons of antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory, and provides the body with good clean energy with no crash later on. And don’t be scared of the cauliflower in your smoothies, I promise you can’t taste it, it is just a way to sneak in some extra veggies, AND it makes the smoothie extra thick and creamy. The key to putting cauliflower in your smoothies is to either buy it pre-frozen, or to chop up a head of cauliflower and steam it before putting it in a bag to freeze it.
Ingredients for Mixed Berry Protein Smoothie
- Frozen mixed berries – I used a store-bought mix of strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
- Frozen cauliflower – You can buy this premade for you! You can do either the cauliflower rice version, or the frozen florets. This adds so much thick creaminess without the taste of cauliflower.
- Non-dairy milk – I used unsweetened almond milk
- Vanilla protein powder – I have several favorites that I rotate in my smoothies. You can see my complete guide to gluten-free protein powders here!
- Matcha green tea powder – I like to use ceremonial grade matcha because it tastes better and has more health benefits.
You can top it with more frozen berries and coconut flakes if you want to eat it as a smoothie bowl!
