When you’re running out the door and only have 5 minutes for breakfast, a smoothie is the best option. They are quick to make and can be customized to be vegan, to add protein, and more. This berry cabbage smoothie is the perfect low-carb option for a hectic morning. The cabbage gives it a fluffy, almost milkshake-like texture without impacting flavor! You can add protein powder or Greek yogurt for a bit more oomph or add flaxseeds for fiber. No matter how you enjoy it, one sip and you’ll be making it daily.
the ingredients are simple
Don’t worry, the berries totally overpower the cabbage flavor, so the smoothie tastes sweet and fruity!
Red Cabbage: This ingredient thickens up the smoothie while also adding Vitamin C, zinc, copper, phosphorus, and magnesium — all vital nutrients for a healthy diet! Green cabbage works, too, but it is not as nutrient-dense and won’t result in the same bright color. Mixed Berries: By including berries, we get not only a delicious flavor but also antioxidants, blood sugar support, anti-inflammatory benefits, and loads of fiber! Orange Juice and Cinnamon: These both add flavor, and the orange juice helps to bring together the other ingredients and add sweetness.

How to save smoothies
I prefer to freeze my smoothie in silicon molds or an ice cube tray. Once frozen, transfer to a plastic bag or air-tight container to stay in the freezer. When I want the smoothie, I just have to toss a few cubes in the blender with a splash of liquid.
smoothie variations
As with most fruit smoothies, you can add flavors and ingredients to make this berry smoothie your own!
Swap The Fruit: Try something tropical like frozen pineapple and mango and a splash of coconut milk. Add More Nutrients: Things like yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, or flax seeds all add additional nutrients.
