• Easy to make: Add it all to a blender and combine! It’s so simple even your kids could make it – which is great because they will love to drink it, too!

Ingredient Notes

• Broccoli: Broccoli adds nutrients and color to the green smoothie. It should be fresh, raw broccoli florets.
• Frozen mango: This frozen fruit adds sweet taste to the easy broccoli smoothie.
• Frozen ripe banana: Adds sweetness to the creamy smoothie as well as helps mask the broccoli flavor.
• Green apple: I used a Granny Smith apple as the tart flavor pairs well with the other sweet fruits. Use any type of fresh apple you would like!
• Milk: I used unsweetened almond milk, but feel free to use your favorite dairy or plant-based milk like oat milk.
• Spinach: Baby spinach is my preference as it is milk in flavor and it’s a great way to pack in your greens! It can be raw or frozen.
• Honey: Honey adds a touch of sweetness to the healthy smoothie. You can use more or less or even omit it and it will still taste great.
• Water: This helps make the vegetable smoothie more blendable. You could use coconut water or orange juice for more flavor.

How to Make a Broccoli Smoothie

Add all ingredients to a high powered blender and blend until smooth! Add more water as needed to reach desired consistency.

Recipe Tips and Variations

• High powered blender: Use a Vitamix or similar blender that is high powered really makes a difference in making this smoothie blend without chunks.
• Hate broccoli? That’s okay if you are not a fan of the cruciferous vegetable! You can add more spinach in place of the broccoli.
• Fruit swap: Swap mango for blueberries and make a blueberry broccoli smoothie. Pineapple would also be a great substitution or add-in!
• Protein: Add some nut butter like peanut butter or almond butter. Greek yogurt would add a tangy taste or try a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
• Add-ins: Add in vanilla extract or avocado slices.
• Serve immediately: This green broccoli smoothie starts to seperate after it sits. I recommended to drink it right away!
