Healthy Cashew Smoothie


Creamy, naturally sweet, and full of good fats and antioxidants — this smoothie blends banana, strawberry, avocado, and cashews into a dreamy, healthy drink.


πŸ“ Ingredients (1–2 servings)

  • 1 ripe banana

    Adds natural sweetness and creaminess.

  • 4–5 fresh or frozen strawberries

    Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants.

  • 1/4 of a ripe avocado

    Makes the smoothie ultra-creamy and provides healthy fats.

  • 2 tablespoons raw cashews (soaked for 2–4 hours or overnight)

    Soaking makes them easier to blend and digest.

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

    Or substitute with oat, soy, or cashew milk.

  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

    Add only if more sweetness is needed.

  • A handful of ice cubes

    For a refreshing, chilled texture.


πŸ‘©‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients:

    • If your cashews weren’t soaked ahead of time, you can do a quick soak: place them in hot water for 10–15 minutes, then drain.

    • If using fresh strawberries, remove stems and rinse.

  2. Blend:

    • Add banana, strawberries, avocado, soaked cashews, almond milk, honey, and ice to a high-speed blender.

    • Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds.

  3. Taste & Adjust:

    • Taste and adjust sweetness by adding a bit more honey if needed.

    • Add more almond milk to thin or more ice to thicken.

  4. Serve:

    • Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!


πŸ’‘ Optional Boosts:

  • Chia seeds or flaxseeds for added fiber.

  • Vanilla extract (1/4 tsp) for flavor depth.

  • A scoop of protein powder to turn it into a meal smoothie.
