Triple Berry Antioxidant Smoothie
This energizing smoothie is loaded up with fiber, vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, and theobromine, a phytochemical found in cacao that boosts energy and mood, which I'm sure we can all use on a busy weekday morning!
Cinnamon, spinach, berries, and cacao provide a hefty dose of free radical-fighting antioxidant power along with lots of flavor. Berries are one of the lowest-sugar and highest-fiber fruits that you can consume, and frozen cauliflower (although it may sound odd to add to a smoothie) provides bulk and a creamy texture. Think of it as a more nutritious and substantiative substitute for ice!
With protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs, this smoothie can serve as a balanced meal or snack depending on your nutritional needs.

1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup frozen cauliflower rice
