Hey guys, something a little different this week! We’re having a Smoothie Off against Gigi at GigiEatsCelebrities.com, and as the name might imply, it’s one smoothie versus another. Facing off. Ready to be drunk for its cause. As many of us are, I’m sure.
The Smoothie Off rules are simple too. Each team makes a smoothie in any way they want, shares the recipe and waits for the votes to come in. It’s HurryTheFoodUp.com against GigiEatsCelebrities.com.
Recipe 1 – The Zesty Caulicokin Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Vanilla protein powder

- 1 cup cauliflower, frozen
- 2 tbsp erythritol
- 6 drops vanilla extract

Optional

This is Gigi’s attempt. Although it’s a very good smoothie, it’s clearly no winner. Click here to have a look anyway.
Recipe 2 – The High Protein Cottage Cheese Strawberry Smoothie
This beautiful, mouth-watering treat is brought to you by yours truly. A classic winning combination of juicy strawberries and sweet banana make this all-conquering smoothie impossible to look past. We love our food (drink?) delicious and nutritious, and this is a nutrient powerhouse.
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup strawberries, fresh (frozen is fine too; you can use any berries you happen to have around)
- 1 cup low fat coconut milk *
- 1 cup low fat cottage cheese *
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
Instructions
- One of the joys and reasons for the ever-lasting popularity of smoothies lies in the simplicity of it all.
- Just throw all the ingredients into a blender (peel the banana first ;)) and press the magic button.
- If smoothie is too thick, add some water. If it’s how you like it, serve!

Cauliflower in a smoothie?! Wow, this is so creative!! I think I actually need to give this a try! 🙂
I’ll have your smoothie with a side of Gigi’s cake balls. Yum!!
I like smoothie, but cauliflower in smoothie!? If my kids say yes to this, then i will go for it.:)
Tried them both. Strawberry cottage cheese wins hands down:) Gigi’s chocolate cake balls are quit tasty and will be included in many smoothies to come! Or just on their own:P
Hahaa, thanks for trying them Brett!! Yess, Gigi’s version is a bit of a risk taker 😉
Glad we could win you over hahah
I def want the cauliflower balls in my mouth!!!!! That cake balls recipe rocks and I’ll be making those for my “cheat” this week. Only because I know I won’t be able to eat just one! I’m dying to try this new plant based protein. I already use two popular brands several times a day, idk how I’ve never heard of NuZest. Jesus take the wheel!!…It’s yummy protein packed cauliflower balls for me!
Hahahahm fair choice, Keliann!! ;D
Just read your comment on my blog you “sore loser” – BAH AH AHA HA HA! 😉
hahahhaahha ;D
I would change the coconut milk to Unsweetened almond milk (just preference). I definitely want to try the cottage cheese and strawberry smoothie. Sounds delicious.
