That looks so good, I can’t wait to try it this next weekend:)
Yes! It is SOOOO yummy. Enjoy 🙂
Hi Tess! I make one similar to this but LOVE the chlorella addition – I always love sneaking superfoods into my dishes and sharing them out with others knowing that they are getting something amazing and healthy. THEN, once they are WOWed by the meal/smoothie/ item, I’ll tell them what was in it and have converts to superfoods instantly. Win people over thru their taste buds and you’ve got them. Thanks for sharing Julie’s recipe and the Navitas Naturals giveaway! Fantastic! I’m going to pin this one in my SMOOTHIES file. XO
Exactly. Totally agree. This one’s a winner.
YUMMO. Bet this doesn’t even need sweetener with the bananas!
It doesn’t. It is SOOO good. Enjoy 🙂
What can i use instead of cashews? Im highly allergic
Hi Tara! You can use hemp seeds instead to get that creamy flavor – they will blend very nicely.
Thanks Julie.
I have been making this every morning . It is so delicious it is like dessert to me. I don’t even add any sweetner. Thank you
Wonderful! It is SO delicious isn’t it? Enjoy 🙂
I’ve just made this for me and my partner (he is a superfood virgin and very difficult to please with food!). I love it! I would find the full 18oz a bit much in one sitting so have separated it down into little 150ml servings to have alongside a super breakfast instead of sugary fruit juice. Even the partner loved it alongside his raw berry gluten free parfait that I also made this morning!! Best find yet!
Oh, I LOVE that. So glad you enjoyed this smoothie. There are so many fabulous recipes in that book. Enjoy 🙂
This is a great recipe. The cashews give such a nice smooth texture. Thanks for sharing!
Yes! I love this recipe 🙂
Hey there, I would love to make this recipe tonight. I’m working with what I have in the house though. I have neither cashews nor hemp seeds, can I use chia seeds? And can I half this recope?
Thanks
M.E.
SO sorry I am just getting to this now. Chia seeds will bulk up this smoothie and add nutritional density. But you won’t get the creamy texture that is provided by the cashews or the hemp seeds, and the flavour just won’t be as good.
Do you suggest something to replace the rice milk and coconut water? Also is a good breakfast smoothie? Sorry for all the questions I am new to smoothies and super foods so I trying to read all I can on you website. If you suggest any other blogs or books I should read I would greatly appreciate it.
I would use unsweetened almond milk in place of the rice milk and coconut water.
Do you soak the cashews first?
Yes, soak the cashews in filtered water for 2 hours (or the quick way with boiling water for 10 minutes) drain and discard the soaking liquid, and add them to the smoothie.
