Broccoli Recipe For People Who Hate Broccoli

Broccoli Recipes are generally created for those who love broccoli right? But this broccoli recipe is for people who hate broccoli! When I was a kid, I wouldn't eat a piece of broccoli if you paid me. Now I found a way to get broccoli into my diet and my kids' diets quickly, easily and without any taste.

I love smoothies and malts and anything remotely like them, and so do my kids. We had always eaten fruit smoothies and tried to make them as nutritious as possible, but we had never tried adding vegetables to them! The mere thought of it is an assault on many taste buds, I know. But the truth is, you can hardly taste or not be able to detect the difference between a smoothie with or without the addition of certain vegetables. The amount you can hide inside a smoothies is about what you need daily. Adding a smoothie like this to your weekly menu is a very easy way to get these vegetables into you and your family's diet even if you or any of them absolutely hate broccoli recipes of any kind.

Wash that blender off that has been sitting unused for so long because your blender is your "portal" to good eating habits. Make a permanent place for it on your counter because you are going to be using it every day.

Broccoli Recipe for Healthy Smoothies.
This broccoli recipe is so easy. But to be honest, I NEVER measure. Feel free to alter the ingredients to taste and experiment with variations on thickness.


Choose from your favorite frozen fruits in the frozen section of your grocery store.
Add about a half cup of each of the following frozen fruits, Strawberries, peaches, blue berries, mixed berries, papaya, cherries, blackberries, etc. to your blender. The fruit should come up to the half way mark on your blender. Include a half or whole banana if desired.

Over the fruit add the following:

1 heaping spoon full of peanut butter (your secret weapon taste hider)
3/4 cup of dry oatmeal for thickness and great health benefits
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup tofu for great thickness and more protein (tasteless)
1 or 2 tablespoons Ovaltine or Nestle Quick to sweetness (both have vitamins)
1 handful of broccoli florets -more can be added without detection. But add too many and you risk a taste bud security risk and your cover may be blown!

Add skim milk or reduced fat soy milk until contents are about submerged. Some like a thicker smoothie so the the liquids can be adjusted to your preference.
Blend until very smooth. Don't tell certain finiky kids there's vegetables in it and they won't even know or even think to ask what's in it.

Try it with spinach leaves, cauliflower, kale, and other telatively easy-to-conseal vegetables. Adding beats gives your smoothie a great red color! Just don't ttell the kids what's in thier smoothie. I have found that if you tell them, thier taste buds get turned on the inspecting mode and the gig's off. Enjoy!
