This smoothie has cauliflower in it, but you'd never know! Once you blend it up with coconut milk and frozen mango, it slips into the background to provide a creamy and nutrient-rich base.

This green smoothie gets its verdant hue from zucchini! Just like it does in a chocolate zucchini bread, the green veggie seamlessly blends so well with sweet ingredients like banana and chocolate milk.
