Love this Double Veggie Surprise
This is one smoothie that I prepared in a hurry, not to mention that I didn’t had all the ingredients that I wanted (like fennel and celery) so I had to improvise. Good news is that it turned out great anyway and this proves that you can make a great smoothie every single time. You just need a bit of smoothie-love!
Here’s why this smoothie is a winner. It’s:
Refreshing
Tasty
Healthy
Creamy
Satisfying
Fun to Make
Perfect Yellow
Superb!
Tips for making delicious healthy smoothies
The recipe for a nutrient-packed smoothie is simple: use more veggies and fewer fruits. That’s it!
When it comes to this Double Veggie Surprise Smoothie, this one is definitely a smoothie that will boost your immune system. Why? Because this smoothie is packed with all sorts of “good-for-you” nutrients: vitamins, minerals, healthy fiber, raw enzymes and phytonutrients.
In terms of taste, if you’re not fond of leeks then I suggest skipping it all together. Another option would be to use just a little bit of leeks, or replace it with celery and fennel. Using celery and fennel instead of leeks won’t make much difference in terms of health benefits, but will definitely keep away that special “soup” taste.
If you ask me, I like a bit of leeks in my smoothies and I think this recipe is just perfect. But that’s me, for you it might be a different story … Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!
I don’t know about you but lately I feel super creative around plants. When I blend my smoothies I feel inspired to experiment with different plant combinations and the results are always amazing.
As you probably know by now, I also like using as many veggies as possible in my smoothies (this one included). I also like adding high potency spices to my blends, things like turmeric, ginger, cinnamon or cardamom. And that’s on top of the healthy fats like avocado and coconut oil. I guess you can say that I like veggie-based smoothies.
How about you, what’s your favorite kind of smoothie? Did you get a chance to test any of my veggie-based smoothies?

Thank you so much for this recipe. May I give a suggestion? The effect of the turmeric is significantly enhanced by adding some black pepper. Keep doing what you’re doing!
