Pineapple gives a lovely tropical flavor to smoothies. I love adding it. I also love to add carrots, especially when I want some veggies but don’t want a green smoothie. Cauliflower is another good veggie for when you want to keep a good color in your smoothie. And, believe it or not, the fruit disguises the cauli-flavor well so you’d never notice it is there.
This recipe is based on one from Julia at SavoryTooth. I totally relate to Julia when she says …
Mornings just don’t feel right without drinking our smoothies first thing after waking up. These smoothies are not only packed with fruit but also with vegetables such as carrots, spinach, or kale for extra nutrition. Fruit tends to be pretty sweet so the vegetables help balance the taste. To ensure these smoothies are filling enough to serve as the entirety of my breakfast, I love adding extras such as oats, chia seeds, flax seeds, and nut butters.
