Strawberry-Peach Smoothie

HANDS- ON 5 MIN . TOTAL 5 MIN .

Cauliflower in a smoothie might sound like a deal breaker, but trust us, it's worth it. Not only does it boost your veggie servings for the day, it also makes this peach smoothie extra creamy. The apple juice and peaches provide plenty of natural sweetness, but add the sugar if you like your smoothies really sweet.

½ cup frozen cauliflower rice

½ cup frozen strawberries

½ cup frozen peaches

1 Tbsp. sugar (optional)

Place apple juice, yogurt, cauliflower rice, strawberries, peaches, and sugar (if using) in a blender. Process until smooth.
