Broccoli Smoothie Recipe

Broccoli, often referred to as a superfood, is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are essential for a healthy lifestyle. Incorporating it into your diet doesn't have to be boring or challenging. A broccoli smoothie is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy its benefits. Here's a simple recipe to make a nutritious broccoli smoothie that's perfect for breakfast or a midday energy boost.

Ingredients for Broccoli Smoothie

1 cup broccoli florets (steamed and cooled)
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup spinach leaves (optional, for extra greens)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or any non-dairy yogurt)
1 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ice cubes (as needed)

How to Make Broccoli Smoothie

To make a delicious and nutritious broccoli smoothie, start by preparing the broccoli. Steam one cup of broccoli florets until tender but still vibrant green, then allow them to cool completely. Steaming enhances the flavor and makes the broccoli easier to blend.

Once the broccoli is ready, add it to a blender along with one ripe banana, half a cup of spinach leaves for extra greens (optional), half a cup of plain Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt, and one cup of almond milk or your preferred type of milk. For added sweetness, include a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and enhance the flavor with half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.


If you like your smoothie chilled and refreshing, toss in a few ice cubes. Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk. Once blended, pour the smoothie into a glass, garnish with chia seeds or a slice of banana if desired, and enjoy immediately!
