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.

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…

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.

These lingonberry…

This beetroot and blueberry smoothie bowl tastes absolutely perfect with some homemade raw chocolate on top. This is actually a superfood raw chocolate which makes you feel energized without a jittery “I’ve had too much coffee” feeling.
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
