1. Detox Broccoli Smoothie

 

Do not rush to wriggle your nose, you will not feel the taste of broccoli in this drink.

Adjust the density of the drink with boiled water at room temperature or mineral water without gas. In this smoothie, only the freshness of cucumber and the pleasant aroma of strawberries are felt. No hints of broccoli, everything is perfectly disguised!

Broccoli Cheese Soup Ingredients:

butter - 20 g; onion - 2 pcs.; broccoli - 1 pc.; milk - 750 ml; cream - 250 ml; blue cheese - 150 g; garlic - 1 clove.

Saute onions and garlic in melted butter in a frying pan until transparent, add broccoli florets and milk, simmer for half an hour. Then add cheese and cream, boil, put salt and pepper to taste, interrupt everything with a blender. Decorate with croutons if desired.

3. Bruschetta with herbs and anchovies

 

Everyone seems to love bruschetta. This filling option for mouth-watering sandwiches is prepared on the basis of broccoli and parmesan.

Beat eggs with sour cream, add a little salt, mix with crumbled feta and chopped broccoli. Pour the mass onto the dough, wrap the hanging edges inside and bake for 35-40 minutes until a beautiful crust.

If desired, you can make not a pie, but individual "bags" of filo dough with filling.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
