Shake vigorously until well blended. You can also use a whisk and mix it in a bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.

Quick Tips:
It is important to chop your broccoli and cauliflower into small pieces for easier digestion. You can also blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute if raw broccoli makes you feel bloated or gassy. Try pulsing it in a food processor, or use a sharp knife to chop it down to bite-sized pieces.
