Broccoli Cauliflower Smoothie

I never thought I would say this, but my husband has bought into the idea of healthy eating. This is from a guy whose idea of healthy meal is candy. he considers the greens nasty and tasteless. 

I told him that i really wanted to loose all the weight I gained while I was pregnant with our first child. He was excited, but when I told him that it would involve him working out with me as well as eating healthy meals. His facial expression was priceless. I knew that arguing with him will lead to nowhere, I decided it was time to compromise.

Here is what went down: I woke up yesterday morning while he was getting ready for work. I told him that I was serious about loosing weight and I wanted his support. he looked at me and said Babe you know I support you but I am not drinking or eating anything nasty. I smiled and I told him he was not been a team player. I walked out. 

To my greatest surprise, my hubby woke me up this morning and said he was willing to support me and be a team player. I was so happy and told him that for every meal I prepare that he eats, he is allowed to cheat. 

I got up and told him that I would make broccoli cauliflower smoothie for breakfast. He smiled as said please babe can you also make puff puff. 

I chose broccoli cauliflower smoothie because it leaves you full and satisfied even though the taste is not the best. Here is the recipe for puff puff , Here, which I posted earlier this month. 

Ingredients you will need the smoothie
  • 2 kiwi fruits
  • 6 strawberries
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 blueberries
  • 1/2 broccoli
  • 1/2 cauliflower
  1. Soak the vegetables with warm water and apple cider vinegar. Do same for the fruits. Bring out your blender and rinse with soapy warm water. I have the Nutribullet and I absolutely love it.
  2. Add the fruits, vegetables and lemon into the blender. Blend until smooth 
  3. Serve chill. In my hubby's case, serve with puff-puff.
