Hi Tess, want to make your vegan orange and poppy seed recipe but my husband is intolerant to oats. Is there a replacement for them?
Jill, you can omit the oats and the smoothie still tastes amazing. Enjoy.
hi tess! do you have a post on the benefits of celtic sea salt?
I don’t, but I will get one up later this year. Here is my spiel on salt until then:
natural salt
As our bodily fluids are saline, we all need salt to survive. Celtic sea salt keeps us hydrated and provides some sixty minerals to replenish electrolytes, support adrenal, immune, and thyroid function, enhance digestion, and assist detox. Good salt brings out flavor, too. You can learn more at their website:

Hi. I follow you from Malta in Europe. We love smoothies, and this was a hit with my youngerboys too. Thanks
Hey! Great to be connected. I’m so happy you and your boys enjoyed this smoothie.
Hi Tess, just wondering about the cashews with this recipe, they don’t appear to need soaking first?
