A cauliflower smoothie? I’m totally curious Karen!! I love cauliflower, so I’ll definitely need to try!
Cauliflower is one of my fave veggies, but I can’t say that I’ve ever had in a smoothie. Would totally try this out, though! I have a smoothie practically every day and this is a great way to mix it up 🙂 Those colours are so pretty too!
OMGgg.. I tried this for the first time this summer, Karen! I love how you’ve given us four new ways to give it a go! Delicious… my favorite is the green cauliflower smoothie! Pineapple FTW!
I swear there is nothing cauliflower can’t do, so I don’t think cauliflower in a smoothie sounds gross at all! In fact, it sounds delicious!! Loving all four versions!! Can’t wait to try them! Cheers!
Wow these are pretty…. I’m thinking I’ll start with the blueberry oatmeal and work my way through!
