In an effort to save money grocery shopping and to highlight the importance of eating with seasons, I've decided to launch a new series called "Eat Seasonably." Each month, I'll feature unique recipes for seasonal produce. Okay, here we go, eating seasonably, getting the most out of our produce and saving money!
Ingredients:
For the cherry and cauliflower smoothie
1/2 banana
1/2 cup semi-skimmed milk
1 pot of 0% cherry yogurt
1 tsp honey
2 small to medium sized cauliflower florets
handful of frozen cherries
All right, let's cook:
For the smoothie, begin by pouring the milk into your blender. Next, add the florets, banana, cherries and yogurt. Drizzle over the honey and blitz until smooth and frothy.
I want to try the smoothie. I love cherry drinks and cherry blossoms ( as you could tell from my post on them) A smoothie is so refreshing and spring like!
ReplyDeleteOh, definitely try it, Marie! I was so surprised that I couldn't really taste the cauliflower. I gave some to my son, sneaky way to get his 5-a-day in!
DeleteThis smoothie looks so cool! I've never thought about putting cauliflower into one but I bet it totally helps thicken it up (plus adds veggies) Definitely going to try!
ReplyDeleteThe cauliflower certainly did help to thicken it, yes! Do let me know if you try it! :)
Deletethat is a true mystery ingredient!
ReplyDeleteHahaha I know! No one would ever guess it was in there :)
DeleteSounds very refreshing.....Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week; I hope you’ll join us again!

DeleteI love cauliflower, but had not thought to add it to my smoothies. Earlier this week I made a cherry, banana and spinach smoothie. Now I have to try cauliflower!! I'm visiting from Just Us Four.
ReplyDeleteOh i love cherry & spinach smoothies! :) I made one with cherry & spinach & added cantaloupe! You might like it; it's here: http://anyonitanibbles.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/fruity-green-monster.html
DeleteDo you sweeten your smoothies? If so, with what?
Oh I seriously want to try this smoothie!! Can you taste the cauliflower in it?? How cool! I love fun new recipes like these! I'm following you now and love your blog! Come visit me if you get a chance! Hope you're having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Jen @ Yummy. Healthy. Easy.
Hi Jen,
DeleteNo, you can't taste the cauliflower at all! :) I love cooked cauliflower but can't really stand it raw, so when I took my first sip, I was cringing! lol :)
There are so many different ways of making a smoothie utterly healthy and tasty at the same time. Love this. Thanks so much for linking up to Inspire Me Wednesday, Anyonita!
ReplyDeleteI know! It's great that you can sneak in the healthy stuff and mask it with sweet cherry, isn't it? I've been giving Callum (my son) smoothies every time I have one to boost his veggies! :) Sneaky, sneaky, but it works!
DeleteMmm... I've had avocado shakes but not cauliflower!! Following you now from Smile with Us Mondays! :) Would you be willing to join in on this project with us? Check it out... http://modernhippiemomma.blogspot.com/2013/04/may-is-for-all-women-project-post-1.html

DeleteThe crostini looks lovely - not sure about the smoothie though, don't like them at the best of times!
ReplyDeleteI found the crostini to be too cauliflowery for me! Haha but my husband & son loved it! On my way to your blog!
