About this Recipe

This recipe is heavy on the fruit and veggies, featuring 2 cups of green veggies and you can easily customize which veggies you use. The recipe calls for cucumber and zucchini, both of which have a mild flavor easy to mask with sweet fruits and protein powder but other veggies that work well are cauliflower, celery and spinach.

This recipe makes a large 1L-sized smoothie or you could split it into 2 servings. Veggies are helpful in making a large serving size without adding more sugar and calories. For more ideas and tips on adding veggies to smoothie, check out my list of the Best Vegetables for Smoothies.

  • Rich in micronutrients.
  • Prep in advance.

Ingredients

  • Strawberry: Use frozen strawberries for a thick, creamy smoothie.
  • Mango: Frozen is recommended but if you use frozen strawberries, you can combine them with fresh mango. This can be substitute with another frozen fruit like raspberries, banana or peaches.
  • Protein Powder: Any vegan vanilla protein powder you enjoy works.
  • Zucchini & Cucumber: The recipe calls for 1/2 cup each zucchini and cucumber. You can all zucchini, all cucumber or the suggested half and half. These can be fresh or frozen.

Adjustments

  • For an extra pink smoothie, add a small piece of beet or 1-2 tsp beet powder to your smoothie.
  • To make a smoothie bowl, start with 1 cup of milk and blend on low. Slowly add milk until it catches and blends, adding as little as possible. Blend until ice cream-like then scoop into a bowl and top with banana, granola, etc.
  • For a sweeter smoothie, add 1/2 a frozen banana.

  1. I love adding veggies to my smoothies! It’s such a great way to get in some extra “hidden” veggies and you really can’t taste them. This one looks delicious:)

  2. I always get excited when I see a smoothie recipe without banana (I have an extreme dislike of bananas), so YAY for this recipe! ๐Ÿ™‚ I started using zucchini in smoothies last summer, and it’s such a great addition! This smoothie looks so refreshing–can’t wait to try it!

  3. This is simply genius! I have recetly discovered that raw zucchini work just fine in smoothies and this recipe is proof. Also I am sold with anything that contains mango.

    1. Yes! I love zucchini in smoothies, mostly because you can’t taste it and it helps make them bigger! ๐Ÿ˜›
