How to make strawberry banana cashew smoothies

Featured Ingredients

• Milk: The base of this creamy smoothie.
• Cashews: It may sound odd, but it makes for a super creamy smoothie.
  • Let them soak in the milk for 5 minutes, then whirl away!
• Strawberries: Frozen work best, as you won’t need to add ice, which can water down the flavor.
• Banana: Also best if frozen. I like to peel, slice and bag them.
• Sweetener: If you want to add a little more sweetness to the smoothie, use your favorite sweetener.
• Flax or chia: Optional, but a scoop of flax or chia adds a boost of fiber and omega 3s!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Pour milk and cashews into a blender pitcher.
2. Let sit 5 minutes.
3. Add other ingredients and blend until very smooth.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness level, if necessary.
