Coco Cauliflower Mint Chip Smoothie
If you’re watching your sugar intake or looking for a way to sneak some veggies into your diet, this smoothie is for you! Instead of using frozen fruit to give the smoothie a thick texture and volume, try using frozen cauliflower. Place all ingredients except the cacao nibs into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Add in cacao nibs and blend a few additional seconds. Pour into a glass and enjoy. (*If you’re new to using cauliflower rice in smoothies, start small with a quarter cup instead of a half cup.)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond, cashew, or coconut milk
• ½ to 1 cup coconut water (or more milk of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon coconut butter or 3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
• ½ cup frozen cauliflower rice
• 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ½ tablespoon cacao or cocoa powder
• 4 to 5 fresh mint leaves or 1 to 2 drops of peppermint extract
• 1 to 2 teaspoons cacao nibs
PB&J Smoothie
Combine frozen blueberries with peanut butter and banana for a protein-packed smoothie that tastes just like your favorite sandwich from childhood! It’s the perfect breakfast smoothie for your kids. Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender, blend until smooth, and enjoy.

• 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk

Wild Maqui Berry Smoothie Bowl
Love the flavor of smoothies, but hate how fast you drink them down? Try a smoothie bowl! Because they’re made a bit thicker, you can eat them with a spoon and add fun toppings for something to chew. This one uses maqui berry powder, a superfood that’s loaded with inflammation-fighting antioxidants. If you can’t find maqui berry powder, try acai powder instead. Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender, blend until smooth. Add more almond milk if you want the texture to be thinner. Serve in a bowl with your favorite toppings.
• 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 cup frozen cauliflower
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon coconut butter (almond butter works too)
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• 2 tablespoons wild maqui berry powder
• toppings of choice: goji berries, superfood maca granola, cacao nibs, unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, fresh fruit
