    Wild Blueberry Zucchini Smoothie

    Jun 16, 2017 / by Laney Schwartz / 5 Comments(updated Feb 13, 2020)

    Wild Blueberry Zucchini SmoothieI’m all about sneaking in a few extra veggies into my smoothies lately. Not because I don’t love veggies, because I do! But because why not? This Wild Blueberry Zucchini Smoothie is nutritious and delicious and I promise you don’t even taste that zucchini.

    Wild Blueberry Zucchini SmoothieRemember a couple of months ago when I made this Strawberry Cauliflower Smoothie? You thought cauliflower was weird, but it worked! So just trust me on the zucchini, mmmmkay?

    Wild Blueberry Zucchini SmoothieWhenever you add frozen veggies to smoothies, it’s ideal to steam them, cool then freeze them. Using steamed veggies makes them easier to digest, but if you simply don’t have the time, raw or raw/frozen will do just fine.

    I also think one of the most important parts of making a smoothie is a good quality blender. Having a high powered blender makes all the difference in creating a smooth and creamy consistency. Nobody likes a chunky smoothie! This is my favorite blender of all time! It works miracles.

    Wild Blueberry Zucchini SmoothieHappy smoothie making!

      How many ounces does this recipe produce once blended. I just bought a 12 ounce hand held blender and cant wait to use and trying to find recipes for that size.

      Do you cook the zucchini before freezing it or simply freeze it raw?

        If you steam it before it will be easier to digest but you don’t have to
