My latest veggie craze in my smoothies is ZUCCHINI! Zucchini is rich in:
- Vitamin A – Great for immunity + vision
- Antioxidants – Necessary to decrease inflammation in the body
- Water – Aids in digestion
It’s also low in sugar + carbs, which makes it friendly for those who are carb conscious or on the keto diet. Unlike cauliflower that you need to steam and then freeze, you just need to dice it up raw + freeze it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! If you love brownies + chocolate smoothies, this will be your next go-to — I promise!
