Zucchini, celery, and spinach in a smoothie? We know – it sounds odd. But trust us. They’re entirely undetectable as they add so much nutrition to this gorgeous blueberry smoothie. Let’s do this!
This 8-ingredient, 1-blender, 5-minute smoothie Begin with frozen ripe bananas and wild blueberries.
Next come celery to reduce inflammation and boost hydration , spinach for zinc and folate , as well as zucchini! The zucchini is what gives this smoothie its creamy texture. It also adds a lot of fiber , antioxidants , B vitamins , and vitamin C !
Next, add some hemp seeds for healthy fats , amino acids , and protein ; cinnamon for blood sugar stabilization and anti-inflammatory benefits ; and coconut milk for creaminess and antibacterial benefits.
Look at that color! Swoon.
We hope you LOVE this smoothie! It’s:
- Creamy
- Naturally sweet
- Loaded with vegetables
- Nutritious
- Satisfying
- Customizable
- Uber delicious
This would be ideal for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack. Add any additional ingredients you choose for extra nutrition and taste. Cinnamon adds antioxidants and spice, which I adore. I also use maca for hormone balancing and feel-good sentiments.
