Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened nut milk
- 1/2 cup frozen zucchinis
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- scoops of vanilla protein powder optional
- 5-6 ice cubes
Instructions
To prepare your frozen zucchinis:
- Slice the zucchinis about 1/4 inch thick. Blanch them by cooking them for 5 minutes in boiling water. Transfer immediately to a bowl with ice water. This stops them from cooking.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Then arrange your zucchinis in single layer and freeze them for at least 2-3 hours. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag or container.
To make the smoothie:
- In a high-power blender, add all your ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. If too thick, you may add more liquid or ice.
- Enjoy right away.
