Ingredients

Scale

Fruits and Vegetables

  • 1 medium Banana (adds natural sweetness)
  • 1 medium Apple (cored and chopped)
  • 1 cup Chopped Pineapple (infuses tropical zing)
  • 1 cup Cauliflower Florets (sneaky vegetable addition)

Powders and Sweeteners

  • 1 scoop Unflavored Protein Powder (boosts protein content)
  • 1 tablespoon Spirulina Powder (adds nutrients)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey, Agave, or Sugar (optional for extra sweetness)

Liquids

  • 1 cup Orange Juice (use as the base liquid)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Collect and prepare all ingredients by peeling the banana, coring and chopping the apple, chopping pineapple, and having cauliflower florets ready.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add banana, apple, pineapple, cauliflower, protein powder, spirulina powder, orange juice, and optional sweetener into a blender. Blend until creamy and smooth. Adjust with additional orange juice to reach desired consistency.
  3. Freeze in Cubes: Evenly pour the smoothie mixture into two ice cube trays and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until fully solidified.
  4. Store Cubes: Once frozen, transfer smoothie cubes into a freezer-safe bag or airtight container to store and save space in the freezer.
  5. Serve Preparation: When ready to serve, place a few smoothie cubes into a glass and cover with your choice of juice or milk. Let the cubes sit for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
  6. Final Blend: Blend the softened cubes together with the liquid until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy a quick, nutritious smoothie.

Notes

  • Cauliflower florets add a subtle vegetable flavor and extra nutrients without overpowering the fruit taste.
  • The optional sweetener can be adjusted according to your preferred level of sweetness or dietary needs.
  • Use orange juice as the liquid base for a refreshing citrus flavor, or substitute with almond milk or coconut water for variation.
  • Ensure the smoothie cubes are stored in an airtight container to avoid freezer burn and maintain flavor.
  • These smoothie cubes are perfect for meal prep and quick breakfast options or healthy snacks.
