When it comes to hidden veggie smoothies, cauliflower is the new spinach. With a mild flavor and natural creaminess, it makes the perfect addition to low-carb smoothies. This blueberry vanilla smoothie recipe is a great introduction if you’re new to veggie smoothies, since the cauliflower is nearly flavorless.

I love veggies, but we all have days where we could use an extra nutritional boost. To save time on this blueberry vanilla smoothie, I steam cauliflower in advance and store it in the freezer. Then, I simply add a few florets to make my smoothie thick and creamy — no sugary bananas needed!
This blueberry vanilla smoothie is a regular in my breakfast rotation. For a filling weekend meal, serve it with low-carb recipes like almond flour pancakes or breakfast pizza.
