Ingredients

1 cup fresh strawberries 150 g
1 cup blueberries 150 g, plus a few extra to garnish
2 bananas cut into ½ inch slices, frozen
½ cup white beans cooked & drained
½ cup soy milk 120 ml
1 cup cauliflower frozen (130 g)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 scoop vegan protein powder optional

Toppings

Hemp seeds
Crushed almonds
Fresh blueberries

Instructions

Add all the ingredients into a blender and process to obtain a smooth, deep pink liquid.
Adjust to your taste and texture preferences, adding more plant-based milk, berries, or bananas for sweetness.
Divide into serving glasses and garnish with hemp seeds, crushed almonds, and fresh blueberries if you like.
Serve immediately and store any leftovers in a lidded glass jar in the fridge for up to two days. It might separate a bit when stored, so shake or stir it before serving.

Notes

This bean smoothie can be made with any plant-based milk or even water, the latter of which will reduce the calorie content.
It might separate a bit when stored for longer, so shake or stir it before serving.
Additionally, you can use any leftover berry smoothie and freeze it in an ice cube tray for a quick refreshing drink — simply blitz the smoothie cubes with some plant-based milk.
If you don’t have hemp seeds on hand, you can use flax seeds instead or simply omit them completely.
