Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew milk
- 2 frozen bananas, chopped
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1/4 cup frozen raspberries
- 2 scoops Ka’Chava Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Garnish
- 3 large dollops coconut yogurt
- Freeze-dried strawberries, crushed, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Break the frozen bananas into chunks or cut with a knife to help your blender process them more easily and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Blend Smoothie: Add all smoothie ingredients into a high-powered blender. Start blending on low speed for 30 seconds, then gradually increase to medium-high speed and blend for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture is fully smooth and creamy.
- Create Coconut Yogurt Swirls: Spoon three large dollops of coconut yogurt into the bottom of your serving glass. Use a spoon to swirl the yogurt upward along the sides of the glass to create a marbled effect.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries around the inside of the glass to enhance the visual appeal. Pour the smoothie mixture gently into the glass over the yogurt swirls and enjoy immediately.
