This raspberry smoothie with red cabbage is great for getting children to eat more vegetables. It’s totally pinkalicious!
Eyebrows have been raised when I’ve said I’m making fruit smoothies with red cabbage. But honestly, look at this colour, deepened and sweetened with raspberries from our garden. Who could say no?
Well, probably my seven year old would have done had he known what was lurking in his raspberry smoothie. But the beauty of power blenders is you can get away with this kind of thing so long as it looks nice and tastes good.
He has NO idea. Bad mommy.

I love this idea of adding red cabbage to a smoothie instead of the more common choice of kale or spinach, genius.. Ted looks pretty happy with it as well.
this is super Sarah. I don’t use red cabbage much but will have to get some to include it in my smoothies. Am getting better at making my smoothies more veggie focused!
I often buy red cabbage to make home made coleslaw but it can take a while to get through it. So it’s great to bung a chunk into a smoothie!
I love this!!!! I’m going to try it with the kids. Great idea.
Thanks Kate, I hope they love it!
I would drink this for the colour alone. You do make food and drinks that are all my favourite colours. You do hot colours very well and as long as I don’t taste the red cabbage in this I would love it!
Thanks Laura – I can assure you the red cabbage hides behind the raspberry very well!
What a great color, great consistency and you got some veggies in and no one knows it!
I know… the cat is out the bag now though eh?!
