This is a simple smoothie loaded with fiber and phytonutrients. The addition of frozen cauliflower adds a sneaky serving of vegetables. Adding nut butter or a handful of cashews adds fiber, protein and creaminess. Our favorite is a combination of frozen strawberries, raspberries and cherries because the acid in the fruit balances the sweetness but feel free to use any berry you like.
