Broccoli Rabe Smoothie

Your Vitamix is sick of spinach and kale, trust us. This recipe is a delicious way to switch up your green smoothie game by swapping in broccoli rabe. Yes, the veggie has strong flavor for a shake, but almond butter, dates, and banana easily tone it down with creamy sweetness.  

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon almond butter
1/2 banana
3 dates
1/2 cup broccoli rabe
1/4 cup oats
1 teaspoon hulled hemp seeds
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to blender.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Pour into glass and enjoy!

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE It’s balanced smoothie perfection: very little sugar (from the dates and banana), lots of greens, plenty of fiber (from the oats) and protein (hemp seeds and almond butter), and healthy fats (again, almond butter) to boot. Sip on it for a satiating meal.
