Weird texture and flavor. But I don't like kale in smoothies either. I think the occasional handful of spinach might be my limit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-cauliflower-in-their-smoothies#post-2726951 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 15:22:49 +0000 littlejoy 2726951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like there's no way it would taste good (and I'm a vegan who puts weird shit in my smoothies). ;) </p> <p>Avocado is a good replacement, but not sure where that stacks up on a nutrient level. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-cauliflower-in-their-smoothies#post-2726876 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 13:52:41 +0000 looch 2726876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnleaves: makes sense then, to use cauliflower instead of banana, if you're cutting sugars. I do think I would at least steam it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-cauliflower-in-their-smoothies#post-2726868 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 13:43:43 +0000 autumnleaves 2726868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: I read that it makes the smoothies creamier with less sugar and then there's the nutrients. One post I saw recommended using the riced cauliflower over the florets for the best texture.<br /> @looch: <a href="https://www.eatingbirdfood.com/malted-chocolate-cauliflower-smoothie/" rel="nofollow">https://www.eatingbirdfood.com/malted-chocolate-cauliflower-smoothie/</a> said 1 banana is 15 g of sugar vs 1 cup of cauliflower is 2 grams. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-cauliflower-in-their-smoothies#post-2726826 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 12:58:45 +0000 Peasinapod 2726826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've added cauliflower to pasta sauce for more veggies and found it added nothing to the flavour.. so maybe it would be similar in a smoothie? More veggies but no added flavour? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-cauliflower-in-their-smoothies#post-2726823 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 12:54:29 +0000 tinyperson 2726823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a smoothie chain up here that has a cauliflower smoothie - kale-abunga. Kale, spinach, cauliflower, peaches, mango, apple and tropical juices. It's really yummy. Not sure if the health benefits other than being low carb, and I know the smoothie itself isn't as healthy as they pretend it is, but it's yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-cauliflower-in-their-smoothies#post-2726802 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 12:21:07 +0000 looch 2726802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe if it were cooked, that would make sense to me at least. I use silken tofu instead of yogurt and bananas in mine.</p> <p>What is the sugar content of cauliflower, is it much less than banana? I find that when I am trying to lose weight, if I eat too much fruit, I lose much less than when I keep it to 2 pieces per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-cauliflower-in-their-smoothies#post-2726800 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 12:19:59 +0000 erinbaderin 2726800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>....but why? For texture? To increase your vegetable intake? I don't really understand why you would put cauliflower in a smoothie but I imagine it would give it a weird texture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-cauliflower-in-their-smoothies#post-2726766 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 11:52:51 +0000 autumnleaves 2726766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen a few blog posts suggesting cauliflower is the new banana for smoothies. Has anyone tried it? What is your favorite smoothie recipe with cauliflower? I am have a bag of riced cauliflower and am thinking of trying it in a smoothie. </p>
