I have a confession. I am addicted to InstaStories. I never got into SnapChat since it was hard for me to find people to follow, but I am obsessed with IG stories. I have noticeably been slacking on posting pictures on my IG feed, since I just share to stories most of the time and then forget about it! My favorite part of stories is watching them. I follow a number of healthy, clean eating IGers and I am a screengrab-aholic when it comes to all the healthy recipes they share.
Another hot item I have been seeing a lot of on stories is frosty, healthy smoothies. How do they always make them look so darn delicious and colorful? And do people really drink out of mason jars? Anyway, it inspired me to share my current smoothie of choice which I have been loving for breakfast. I dubbed it my Morning Power Smoothie, since it keeps you full until lunch and is jam-packed with healthy ingredients. (*this post contains affiliate links)
Morning Power Smoothie:
- Almond or Coconut Milk (I use Califia Farms Toasted Coconut Almond Milk, SO good and no sugar or added crap!)
- Big handful of Spinach or other fresh greens
- 1/2 cup frozen Cauliflower (I use the frozen cauliflower rice from Trader Joes)
- 1/2 cup frozen cherries
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- Scoop of Collagen Protein
- 1 teaspoon of MCT Oil
- 1 teaspoon of Cordyceps Mushroom Powder (I use Root & Bones)
- 1 teaspoon of Hemp Seeds
- Sprinkle of bee pollen
This smoothie is full of healthy fats, omega-3’s, adaptogens and tons of vitamins. While it tends to turn out a gray sludge color I promise that does not affect the taste! This will give you immediate energy and many of the ingredients are good for your skin as well! If you love making smoothies, be sure to check out my favorite smoothie prep tip!
That sounds like a very healthy smoothie…how does it taste??
I love morning smoothies, but I’ve never heard of putting cauliflower in smoothies! Can you taste it?
Spinach and CAULIFLOWER (wow, really?) is an interesting combo for a smoothie. Guessing the berries add to the sweet flavor.
This sounds delicious! I love looking at pretty smoothies and foods on insta-stories too (;

Sounds interesting! Lots of nutrients! 🙂

I love the idea of adding cauliflower. It barely has flavor so it’s easy to mask with the other fruits. I’m going to give it a try. My normal smoothies are frozen banana and berries or mango, spinach, collagen powder, nut butter, almond milk, and spirulina. I like to do smoothie bowls and top it off with a bunch of other yummy stuff.
I love smoothies! Will definitely have to try this one out!
That smoothie sounds super healthy! I am obsessed with daily smoothies, but I usually make the same one every day 🙂 Time for some variety 🙂
Sounds delicious! I’ve never thought of putting cauliflower into a smoothie but i think it’s a great idea.
I need to start making these. I need a good way to start my morning.
Ohh definitely trying this smoothie for breakfast!!

This smoothie looks so good! The recipe is so interesting. I need to` try it. 2
Oh,this looks refreshing! I would love to try making this. This is so good, this will be a huge hit!
Never thought of doing double duty with my TJ’s cauliflower rice for smoothies!! Great tip!!
It is a gamechanger for sure! It blends up really easily and makes it smoother.
I love using cauliflower in my smoothies! You can’t even taste it but adds lots of good nutrients to your smoothie 🙂
Yes!! It makes them smoother too, at least I think so 🙂
It sounds delicious! I usually make mind with avocado, spinach, almond milk and coconut water, chia seeds, cacao powder and oats.
I will definitely try this one out! xx
That sounds amazing! I used to put chia seeds in, I need to go back to that!
Wow, that sounds delicious! I’ve never heard of putting cauliflower in a smoothie though. Can you put it raw or does it have to be cooked first?
I use the frozen cauliflower rice from Trader Joes since it is already in tiny pieces and since it is frozen it is nice a cold for my smoothie. I don’t think they are cooked, but you dont taste it in there anyway 🙂
This sounds perfect! I’m saving this for my next morning smoothie 🙂
You will love it!
Love the power smoothie recipe, it looks healthy and super easy to make.

It is really good, let me know if you try it! 🙂
Yes! Now this is how you wake up. This gets the body right to work.
I feel like I get a lot of good nutrients right off the bat! 🙂
Yummy! Love anything featuring omega 3’s!
So good for you!!
I love some of Califia Farm’s milk products. Smoothies are the best in the morning and this one looks fantastic!
Yes the vanilla coconut milk one is my favorite!
I need to try collagen powder! Seems like an easy thing to blend into smoothies without compromising on taste.
You dont taste it at all and when I take it regularly I feel like my skin and hair look better, but I could be making it up since I am the poster girl for placebo effects! ha!
I am a smoothie fanatic and drink one every day. I have never thought to add cauliflower to my smoothie but have a bag in my freezer right now! Can’t wait to try your recipe tomorrow!
yes, the cauliflower makes it really smooth and creamy, you will love it!
This smoothie looks delicious! I love that its so healthy too!
