Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Base
- 1 cup cashew milk
Fruits
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1/4 cup frozen raspberries
Protein & Enhancers
- 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
- Crushed freeze-dried strawberries (amount as desired for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Break the frozen bananas into smaller chunks or cut them with a knife to help your blender process them smoothly.
- Blend the smoothie: Add the cashew milk, frozen bananas, strawberries, frozen raspberries, Ka’Chava vanilla protein powder, almond butter, vanilla paste, and a pinch of salt 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 smooth and creamy.
- Create the marbled effect: Spoon three large dollops of coconut yogurt into the bottom of your glass. Use a spoon to swirl the yogurt up the sides of the glass, then sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries onto the sides to form a beautiful marbled pattern.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour the blended smoothie gently into the prepared glass with the marbled sides. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
