    Weekends are made for omelettes and pancakes, but during the week, I live off of smoothies. They're easy to make, mess free and they give you that feel-good nutrient boost to power you through your morning.

    Most smoothie recipes are made with berries and bananas, and those are good too! But, if you want to sneak in some heart healthy, immune boosting broccoli this is the recipe for you.

    Before you ask - the answer is no, this smoothie doesn't taste like broccoli! While I'm a big fan of broccoli, it's not the first ingredient that springs to mind when I'm looking for smoothie inspiration. However, I love to include a good variety of veggies in my smoothies, and I thought I'd give broccoli a spin.

    After a bit of trial and error, I came up with the perfect combination of ingredients. This broccoli smoothie tastes good and you'll love its creamy texture! I promise. Zesty pineapple and sweet melon provide the perfect foil to the earthy taste of raw broccoli. The texture and taste are perfect. I guarantee that once you make it, it will become a regular in your breakfast rotation.

    ๐ŸฉบHealth Benefits Of Broccoli

    I'm sure that you don't need me to tell you that broccoli is a nutrition powerhouse of a veg and a super high vibe food.

    But, here's a few nutrition facts, in case you need convincing to try this broccoli smoothie recipe:

    • Broccoli is a great source of vitamins C and K, as well as dietary fiber.
    • It contains important nutrients such as folate, potassium, and antioxidants.
    • The fiber content in broccoli supports healthy digestion and helps prevent constipation. It also promotes a healthy gut by feeding beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract.

    ๐Ÿ›’Ingredients

    • Frozen Pineapple: You can actually use fresh or frozen pineapple in this smoothie recipe, but I like how this smoothie comes out so cool and frothy with frozen pineapple.
    • Broccoli: All you need is fresh, uncooked broccoli for this recipe.
    • Honeydew Melon: Honeydew (or Galia melon) adds a lovely sweet note to this smoothie.
    • Spinach: Fresh spinach adds a big nutrient boost, plus it contributes to the lovely green color of this smoothie.
    • Vegan Yogurt: I used soy yogurt, but you can also use coconut yogurt.
    • Maple Syrup: Maple syrup is optional. I've included it here, because some people like a slightly sweeter smoothie. It's up to you!

    ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸณHow To Make A Broccoli Smoothie

    Hint: It couldn't be simpler!

    1. Tip all your ingredients into a high speed blender (or a bullet blender) and blend until smooth and frothy.
    2. Pour into 2 cups and enjoy!

    ๐Ÿ’กCustomize Your Broccoli Smoothie

    Make this recipe your own. Here's a few creative ideas:

    ๐ŸงกAdd some ginger, turmeric, or cinnamon to give your smoothie a boost of flavor and nutrition.

    ๐ŸงกKale is a great option to add to a broccoli smoothie. It's packed with vitamins and minerals, and it adds a nice deep green color.

    ๐ŸงกYou could also add banana and swap the pineapple for mango to add creaminess and flavor.

    Pro Tips

    • If you don't have frozen pineapple on hand, use fresh pineapple and throw in a handful of ice.
    • If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add water or almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency you prefer.
    • Want to feel fuller for longer? Add a nut butter or a tablespoon of chia seeds to your broccoli smoothie.
    • Add a tablespoon of vegan protein powder such as pea protein powder.

    โ„๏ธStorage Instructions

    Refrigerator

    If you've already blended the smoothie and have leftovers, transfer the remaining portion into an airtight container. Refrigerate the smoothie for up to 24-48 hours. I recommend shaking or stirring the smoothie before drinking it as it may separate over time.

    Freezer

    If you have leftover smoothie that you want to freeze for later use, pour it into ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers. Smoothie cubes can be stored in the freezer for up to 1-2 months. When you're ready to drink your broccoli smoothie, transfer the frozen cubes into a blender and blend until smooth.

    ๐Ÿ™‹Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I substitute something else for the broccoli in this smoothie?

    You can add some extra spinach or substitute kale for the broccoli in this smoothie.

    Are broccoli smoothies good for you?

    Yes, broccoli smoothies are really good for you! Broccoli contains a lot of protein, fiber and Vitamin C. In addition, broccoli smoothies contain numerous vitamins from the fruit and spinach.

    Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

    I prefer to make this smoothie right before I'm ready to drink it, but you can make it the day before and store it in a glass container in the fridge. Give the jar a a good shake before drinking.
