Mocha Delight Smoothie

Arugula, also known as rocket, is a member of the cruciferous veggie family, which includes broccoli and cauliflower. Although arugula is popular in salads, its peppery flavor doesn’t lend itself to a lot of smoothies. However, the strong coffee flavor in this drink helps mask the intensity of the arugula, allowing you to still gain its health benefits.

Recipe Yields: 3–4 cups

2 cups arugula

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa

1 teaspoon raw honey

1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon

1 peeled and frozen banana

1⁄2 cup unsweetened almond milk

11⁄2 cups black coffee, cooled

  1. Combine all ingredients and blend on high until smooth.
  2. Add more liquid if necessary.
