Equipment

  • High Powered Blender

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Coconut Milk
  • 1 Cup Cashews
  • 2 Cups Strawberries (frozen)
  • 2 Banana (frozen)
  • 4 Tbsp Hemp Hearts
  • 1 Tsp Lime Zest
  • 6 Medjool Dates (pits removed and chopped)

Instructions

  • Prepare Your Ingredients: Make sure the strawberries and bananas are frozen. This will add a nice chilled texture to your smoothie.
  • Soak the Cashews: To ensure a creamy texture, soak the cashews in water for at least 2 hours. If you're in a hurry, you can also soak them in hot water for about 15-20 minutes. Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender.
  • Add Strawberries, Banana, and Zest: Add the frozen strawberries, banana, and lime zest to the blender.
  • Incorporate Hemp Hearts: Add the hemp hearts to the mix. These will provide a healthy dose of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Introduce Medjool Dates: Drop in the pitted Medjool dates. These natural sweeteners will add a rich, caramel-like flavor to the smoothie.
  • Pour in the Coconut Milk: Add the coconut milk. This will not only enhance the tropical flavor but also lend a creamy consistency to the smoothie.
  • Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture. This might take a minute or two, depending on the power of your blender.
  • Check and Adjust: Taste the smoothie. If you'd like it sweeter, you can add another date. If you'd like it thinner, you can add a bit more coconut milk.
  • Enjoy!
