Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries (*See Notes if Using Frozen)
  • ⅓ cup Raw / Soaked Cashews
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3 - 4 Ice Cubes
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • First, pour in one and a half cups of water (or for an extra creamy smoothie, your milk of choice). Next, add one teaspoon pure maple syrup, one teaspoon pure vanilla extract, one-third of a cup raw (or soaked) cashews and one cup fresh strawberries.
  • Once all your ingredients are in the jug, blend until smooth. The time will vary depending on your blender power and whether you are using soaked cashews. However, thirty seconds should be long enough for most blenders.
  • Once all the ingredients are smoothly blended, power down your blender and pour your Healthy Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie into your favourite smoothie glass and enjoy!
  • This Strawberry Smoothie is best served fresh. It will keep for 8 - 12 hours in the fridge. However, it is best consumed right away.

Notes

**Optionally, you can add 1 teaspoon of a fruit-based collagen booster or grass-fed collagen powder to add to the skin-loving nutrients in this smoothie. You can also add beetroot powder or pitaya powder for added antioxidants, vitamins and minerals or hemp hearts for added protein and healthy fats.
*If using frozen strawberries, you may need to adjust the amount of liquid. For instance, if your strawberries are quite frosty, reduce the amount of water (or milk) to around ¾ cups. Or simply omit the ice. This will keep your smoothie from getting too watery.
