There's a farmer in my market, who is selling very ripe strawberries at a very low price. He says we've to make strawberry jam with them! but I don't like cooking fruits that much and again adding sugar is no to me.
So we have been getting these strawberries and adding them in almost everything since they can't go for more than a day! you know how these guys are fragile, don't you?
It happens that we are always having a head of cauliflower in the fridge. I love cauliflower. We are also undeniably cashew nut lovers, especially my daughter who goes nuts when there isn't any in the house. She just can't eat cauliflower alone.
I came up with the idea of hiding some steamed then frozen cauliflower in this smoothie with strawberries. What I wanted, was a creamy sweet smoothie. Cashew nuts do a good job in making this smoothie deliciously creamy.
In addition, I added some soaked dates to add more taste and fiber but not ONLY!
My daughter loves this healthy strawberry smoothie, and I'm sure if a kid can love it, then you too you will. Or if you have got you, kids who don't like cauliflower, then, it's time to add cauliflower in a smoothie.
