    broccoli smoothie in a glass

    Yes, you read that correctly: broccoli smoothie. I know it sounds strange, but this unusual combination actually makes for a surprisingly delicious and nutrient-packed drink.

    You can use fresh broccoli or frozen ones. However, the frozen broccoli also helps to cool and thicken the smoothie, making it the perfect summertime treat.

    As for the flavor, I like to add a little bit of lemon juice and honey to brighten things up. If you are a broccoli fan, must check out my vegan broccoli recipes collection on the blog.

    broccoli smoothie ingredients

    Ingredients you'll need -

    Broccoli florets - fresh broccoli florets or frozen florets both work for this recipe.

    Frozen Fruits - I love to add frozen bananas and/or mangoes to my broccoli smoothie. You can add other fruits like apples, pears, pineapples, avocados, etc.

    Other Greens - Spinach greens, kale greens, mint leaves, etc. However, these are optional and can add or skip.

    Plant-based milk - Unsweetened almond milk is great. Other options are coconut milk, oatmeal milk, etc.

    Plant-based yogurt - Non-dairy vegan yogurt makes the smoothie creamy and delicious.

    Sweetener - Maple syrup if required. However, bananas and mangoes act as natural sweeteners though.

    How to make the broccoli smoothie?

    To make the broccoli smoothie, simply combine broccoli, frozen fruits, plant-based milk, vegan yogurt, and sweetener (if needed) in a blender and blend until smooth. Don't be afraid to experiment with any other fruits, greens, etc.

    F A Qs

    Shall I add fresh broccoli or frozen broccoli?

    Any of them will do. Frozen broccoli makes it a little creamier. So if you are not adding other fruits, I prefer frozen broccoli. Also, frozen broccoli is partially blanched and then frozen. So it enhances the taste of the smoothie also.

    Can I freeze raw broccoli for smoothies?

    Yes. Preferably blanch the broccoli florets for a minute before freezing them for the smoothies. However, if you are using frozen broccoli, skip blanching as those are already precooked.

    Can I add raw fresh broccoli to this smoothie?

    Yes, absolutely you can add fresh raw broccoli to the smoothie. If adding fresh broccoli, blanching is not required indeed.

    Do I need to add any sweetener to the smoothie?

    Adding sweetener to the smoothie is not necessary though you can add it if required. Maple syrup is good for the vegan smoothie. Another sweetener option is stevia. However, the fruits have natural sweeteners in them and don't really need any other sweetener.

    Is broccoli smoothie healthy for you?

    Broccoli smoothie has the goodness of broccoli and other ingredients too. This is packed with fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants.
