This dairy free Broccoli Smoothie is super simple to make and a great way to get all of your vegetables in without eating a plateful! This recipe is sweet, full of flavor and naturally dairy free. The frozen pineapple combined with the sweet and smooth banana is oh so delicious, you cannot even taste the broccoli!
The bright green coloring of this creamy broccoli smoothie will make it only more appealing to drink! If you give it to someone unknowing, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t even realize they were drinking vegetables because of having no broccoli taste for picky eaters!
Smoothies are an easy way to get additional nutrients into your daily diet. They are also a great option as a quick grab and go snack or a quick healthy breakfast on busy mornings.

Expert Tips
- Tip # 1: If you don’t have fresh broccoli, you could use frozen broccoli florets but would need to add additional liquid to gain the correct consistency.
- Tip # 2: If by accident you over pour your liquids and the smoothie is too thin, you can add more frozen pineapple to help thicken.
- Tip # 3: To make this even easier, you could pre measure the ingredients into zip lock bags in the freezer so that you can dump into the blender, add the coconut milk, and blend.
