Banana - Chocolate - Cashew - Green Smoothie! So good!

Give your daily smoothie routine a new twist with this dessert-like green smoothie recipe! 


This morning, we wanted to try a new green smoothie and I came up with this amazing  one .... tastes like more of a desert than a meal!

Fruit
2 frozen bananas
I pear

Greens
1/2 leaf chard
1 leaf dandelion
1 leaf kale
1/2 avocado

Protein
1/2 cup soaked raw cashews

Liquids
1 cup almond milk
1 cup soy milk
1 cup filtered water

MIX IN BLENDER ON HIGH UNTIL SMOOTH

Add Powders
2 T chocolate nutrition powder (your favorite)
2 T whey powder (your favorite)
1 t flax powder
1 cup ice

MIX AGAIN IN BLENDER UNTIL SMOOTH -- WILL BE THICK LIKE A MILK SHAKE. Add more liquid if you want it thinner. Serves 3-4 people.

My little Cody (4 years old) drank a full cup of this smoothie for breakfast this morning ... and then wanted MORE! My husband thought he was getting a milk shake (green of course) for breakfast and was very clear that he was fine with the idea. He took more for a snack later. 

A great nutrition success for Mom ... and the whole family!
