    Creamy Cauliflower Coconut Smoothie

    Creamy Cauliflower Coconut Smoothie. Vegan, Dairy Free! Dreamy, creamy, balanced and clean! This smoothie is filled with all the veggie goodness, healthy fats & plant protein! #smoothie #vegan #dairyfree

    There’s a old (but new) frozen ingredient in town and its changing the smoothie game forever.

    This Creamy Cauliflower Coconut Smoothie is the creamiest blend of whole food goodness… you’d have no idea it was veggie based!

    Yes. Cauliflower. Frozen.

    The white broccoli. The pale florets that you grew up despising.

    If only you had known that years later, you’d be blending up the white veggie in your morning green smoothie! I’ve been a fan of this recipe in particular for a couple months now, after seeing it all over insta. I’ve shared a few variations in my ‘What I Ate Wednesday’ posts but it deserves its own standout post because its THAT good.

    Lightly sweetened, mostly vegetables, so dreamy and totally balanced.

    Why cauliflower?

    Cauliflower has a pale white coloring but don?t be fooled by it?s lack of pigment! This doesn?t mean cauliflower is lacking in nutrients; its packed with goodness and resides in the same cruciferous family as broccoli, kale, cabbage and brussels sprouts.

    High in phytochemicals, vitamin C and vitamin K amongst many other heart-healthy, disease-fighting nutrients, cauliflower is low in calories yet high in fiber. This means it adds volume to a meal, providing that full and satisfied sensation, while also keeping things moving in the digestion department. Like brussels sprouts, it has sulfur compounds which fight acne and protect the delicate retinol tissues in our eyes.

    Hail to the cauliflower!

    Is it easy on digestion?

    You can lightly steam the cauliflower before freezing it as some people say that’s easier on digestion but I find the raw and frozen cauliflower works just fine for me! I either buy a head of cauliflower and chop it up, then divide it into plastic bags to freeze or buy a bag of frozen cauliflower and take it out as needed. Either way works so if you have a hard time digesting raw cauliflower then I suggest steaming it before freezing it.

    Does it have to be frozen?

    You know how frozen bananas turn the consistency of your smoothie into the creamiest, dreamiest and thickest blend ever? Well cauliflower does the same thing so yes, I highly suggest freezing it so you don’t have to add ice to make it thick and cold.

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
