Yah, I know… who thinks about Broccoli and Vanilla in the same breath?

Hah, well… clearly I do! :)

This is a great combination, and there’s a sizeable amount of raw broccoli in this! But when broccoli is raw in a smoothie, it doesn’t have the rather potent sulphuric taste not uncommon when it’s cooked. And because it’s naturally high in protein (calorie for calorie, zips in a bit higher than sirloin steak!), it lends a creaminess to smoothies.

Paired with some avocado, then, and this really takes on a nice creamy texture. Tastes not unlike a light vanilla cake batter. You will not find the broccoli off-putting.

Then again, if you don’t buy organic broccoli, I’m makin’ no guarantees because organic broccoli tends to be significantly sweeter and more delicate in flavor!

Enjoy. And feed to your kids… and spousal units who refuse to eat their vedge.

Hi Ginger,

There is not protein powder or any such thing in any of my recipes. This is a smoothie made with fresh, peeled broccoli, an avocado, raw honey (to taste will work), vanilla, spring water and ice! It’s creamy & delicious… and naturally high in protein because of the broccoli!
