I may have found a new favorite smoothie and I couldn’t wait to share it with you!  It’s a real winner! I altered my recipe by adding in some cashew butter  and this amazing smoothie was born. It is the perfect creamy smoothie for a healthy breakfast, snack or dessert!

I love starting my morning with a smoothie. I am always one to have a sweet tooth, so smoothies are a great way to satisfy my sweet tooth with something a little healthier. They are such a great way to start the day because they are filling, delicious, and often better for you than the high sugared cereals, or pancakes smothered in syrup that we might be eating instead.

Smoothies often aren’t super low calorie, but they are often made up with fruit and yogurt, which are a lot better for you than a lot of other options.

Smoothies are also a great option for a snack, or a late night treat that, at least, I don’t feel as bad about eating – because let’s be honest sometimes I could be eating cookies or chips instead. And this smoothie is much better than that!

Creamy and delicious for a cold, refreshing, filling breakfast or snack that is easy to customize with your favorite nutritional boosters. Made with simple ingredients and an extra boost of protein, this nut butter banana smoothie recipe is quick to make, and it tastes like a gorgeous milkshake. YUM!

Smoothies are one of the easiest and best ways to ensure you are having the most important meal of the day: breakfast. Tossing ingredients into a blender beats cooking and washing dishes any day! With this easy recipe, all you need are a few staple pantry ingredients and 5 minutes, you will have a versatile, filling, and quick breakfast on your hands to kickstart your morning.

The best thing about smoothies? They are so adaptable. Add you own favorite mix ins or toppings and make a meal of it so its not only delicious but also packed with nutrients! A perfect way to fuel your day – so good you will want one every day!
