Blueberry Scone Smoothie
Breakfast in under 5 minutes! A healthy way to start the day but tastes just as decadent as that sweet pastry treat!
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 frozen banana about 1 cup
- 2-3 frozen cauliflower florets optional
- 1 medjool date, pitted
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 drop vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup water sub non-dairy milk of choice
- optional ice
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender & puree until smooth for about 2 minutes. You may need to stop, scrape down the sides & continue to blend. Add more water if needed to reach your preferred smoothie thickness.
- Serve in your favorite smoothie container. Remember to grab a straw & lid if taking it on the go.
Notes
The cauliflower is optional. It’s a sneaky good way to throw in some added fiber & vitamin C. I promise you won’t feel like you are drinking cauliflower.
A tip for freezing your bananas. Let them ripen as much as you can. The more time they have to ripen the sweeter they become. This way you don’t have to add any extra sweeteners to your smoothies. Slice the bananas into bite size pieces & lay flat on a tray. Place in the freezer for about a few hours. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container. Freezing them this way will ensure you don’t have a mashed mess to deal with.
Prefer a smoothie bowl. Serve up in a bowl & top with fresh blueberries, almonds & your favorite granola.
Enjoy!
