Ingredient Highlights
Bananas are a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamins B6 and C, and other antioxidants and phytonutrients. Ripe bananas are easier to digest and have higher levels of antioxidants as they ripen.
Cauliflower is a healthy cruciferous vegetable that’s high in fiber. It’s loaded with nutrients including vitamins C, K, and B6, and potassium.
Coconut milk is made from the flesh of mature coconuts and is naturally sweet and creamy. It contains lauric acid, which has antimicrobial and anticancer properties and can help fortify immune function.
Coconut oil provides a boost of healthy fat that can energize and satiate. It is a strong antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial food.
Enzymes in fresh lemon juice accelerate the digestive process. Even though lemon juice is acidic, it actually has an alkalizing effect on the body.
With the Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens in this recipe you not only get 5 different types of collagen, but also camu camu, acerola cherry, horsetail extract (silica), and zinc gluconate to ensure your body can actually USE the collagen you’re taking.
Spirulina is a type of blue-green freshwater algae that’s rich in nutrients including chlorophyll, protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Made this for my husband and myself. Very good! I like getting recipes for healthy smoothies. My husband had no idea what was in it, but drank it all.
Do u cook the cauliflower before freezing or is the cauliflower riced raw and added raw?? Thanks
Hi Kathy, thanks for your question.
You can do it either way, it's your preference, or you can just find frozen cauliflower (riced) at your local grocery store or health food store.
If you decide to give this wonderful recipe a try, do let us know. We'd love to hear how it turns out for you.
Thanks so much for being here with us. We hope you have yourself a wonderful day!
hello organixx
avocado is definitely a brain food and the brain guru dr perlmutter also recommends acacia powder which I also add daily to my smoothie! the brain needs fat and fiber as you included!
I've never heard of using raw cauliflower....I would have thought lightly steamed would be easier to digest! but you must have done the research!
