I have a pretty special bunch for you today: refreshing banana-free smoothies, or rainbow smoothies as I like to call them. I use three basic ingredients – frozen cauliflower, frozen fruit and plant-based yogurt to achieve a creamy smooth consistency. Frozen cauliflower has been a trendy ingredient in smoothies for a few years. It’s surprisingly…

CREAMY VEGAN MOCHA SMOOTHIE
Are you ready for some breakfast deliciousness? I’m sharing my favorite three-in-one quick brekkie recipe: creamy vegan mocha smoothie and I hope you’ll try it if you love coffee, chocolate and oats as much as I do.
CHOCOLATE-BERRY NUT SMOOTHIE
This smoothie is totally inspired by my Vegan Basics Part 3 post on Why and How to Eat Nuts and Seeds. Eating a handful of (raw, unsalted, no added oil) nuts a day is considered a pretty healthy habit. So I made munching nuts very easy by incorporating a small handful of them into this chocolate-berry nut…
VANILLA-CINNAMON SMOOTHIE BOWL WITH CRUNCHY GRANOLA CLUSTERS
Movie night with my favorite girl called for a serious recipe creation session. I wanted to come up with a healthy movie snack – crunchy, sweet, chocolatey. With these words in mind I grabbed a Squarebar protein bar, gluten free rolled oats, nuts, coconut oil and created a yummy granola clusters recipe. The movie was Frozen. So…
TROPICAL SMOOTHIE BOWL WITH BERRIES – BRINGING SUMMER BACK
When it is dark and rainy what do you do? Do you curl up on the sofa with warm tea and comforting oatmeal or do you make a colorful smoothie and pretend it’s summer? Today I wanted summer so I whipped up this creamy tropical smoothie bowl with berries and I was instantly whisked off to…
CARAMEL APPLE PIE SMOOTHIE – SMOOTHIE CHAMPIONSHIP 2015 WINNER

LINGONBERRY SMOOTHIES – LOVE POTIONS FROM THE FOREST
There’s something truly magical about pink food. I can’t get enough of it. And neither can my daughter Julia. She is the reason I’ve come up with several creative and healthy ways of coloring food PINK. My love for beetroot has grown even stronger when I realized it is the perfect coloring agent. These lingonberry…
BEETROOT AND BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE BOWL WITH SUPERFOOD RAW CHOCOLATE
If you want to be really happy and energized the whole day without a jittery “I’ve had too much coffee” feeling, this superfood raw chocolate on top of my beetroot and blueberry smoothie bowl is perfect! I had a few (ok so maybe more than few) bites of this crunchy chocolate and I was in a…
PINK GRAPEFRUIT SMOOTHIE BOWLS – FOR THE EARLY BIRDS
I love to be greeted by the sun in the morning when I wake up at 5.30 am to a soft cry. Actually I’m kidding – my son has a very loud voice, and he knows how to use it. “I don’t want to sleep mama” he yells, so we walk downstairs together, open the door to…
HEALTHY GREEN SMOOTHIE GUIDE – HIDE AND SEEK WITH KALE
My little girl loves pink smoothies. She’s disgusted by smoothies of any other color and won’t taste them even if I give her a cute straw and sprinkle pink coconut flakes on top. This all changed one day when I came up with a fun way of presenting healthy greens: from the lightest possible green to a strong forest green. Now I’m…
