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.
