Superfood smoothies are the perfect way to pack in nutrients without sacrificing taste! This smoothie is a staple in our household, especially during the summer. It’s a perfect, easy snack for the kids that not only is delicious, but packs a punch with the variety of healthy ingredients.

Ingredients

Raw Cashews & Water
If I don’t have dairy free milk on hand, this is how I get my “milk base” for the smoothie. By adding the cashews and milk, you are essentially making cashew milk, but just blending it with the smoothie to save a step!

Banana
In this smoothie I prefer to use a fresh banana over frozen banana chunks. Since the rest of the fruit is frozen for this smoothie, having a fresh banana adds a nice creamy texture to it and keeps it from getting too thick.

Spinach
Frozen spinach is the best way to add the greens and fiber, trust me you wont even taste it!

Cherries
Frozen pitted cherries are perfect to keep on hand for smoothies.

Blueberries
You can use fresh blueberries if you have them but I prefer to use frozen blueberries as they are generally cheaper to buy a big bag of frozen blueberries than a small container of fresh.

Almond Butter
This adds a great source of healthy fat and creamy texture without changing the flavor too much.

Hemp Seeds
Adding just a little bit of hemp seeds to the smoothie adds a source of protein, fiber and healthy fats.

FAQ

What if I don’t have raw cashews?
The raw cashews and water is essentially the “milk” in the smoothie. You can sub the water in the recipe with milk or your favorite diary free milk alternative!
