Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 small banana
- ¼ cup cashews, soaked overnight, if possible. Then drained and rinsed*
- ¼ cup or 1 shot of espresso
- 2 Deglet Noor or 1 big Medjool dates, pitted
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ashwagandha powder, optional
- ½ tsp maca powder, optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Enjoy!
Notes
* Soaking nuts overnight makes them a whole lot healthier (you can read more about it here). But if you want to make this smoothie right now, you can skip this step. Unsoaked cashews are going to be harder to pulverize. So, this is what I do. I add all my ingredients to a high-speed blender, including the cashews, and I blend them on high for a minute or two. I let the smoothie rest for 5 minutes. And then I blend it again for 1 more minute. It should be super creamy by now.
