Anyone else on a total smoothie kick right now?

To be honest I am a smoothie lover year round. Over the past couple of weeks, my smoothie obsession has come back with a vengeance, and I’ve been having at least one a day – sometimes even two. I’m picky when it comes to what I will guzzle down, though – I mean, a girl’s gotta have her standards, right?

First, my smoothies have to be thick enough so that I have a hard time sucking them up through a straw – bonus points if I have to bust out a spoon. They also have to be loaded, not only with healthy and wholesome ingredients, but PLENTY of healthy and wholesome ingredients.

I used to be wary of drinking my calories because I was afraid the endeavour would do nothing to satisfy my hunger and only leave me prowling the kitchen in search of something more, and while that’s definitely happened on a handful of occasions, it was mostly because I was doing it all wrong…

They need to pack a nutritious punch if you want to be satisfied for hours without wanting any more food.

This is the perfect smoothie for when you get a sweet tooth, but want something healthy and high in protein! The combination of the cashew butter and dates give it a delicious cookie dough taste, and it’s also packed with protein, fiber and healthy fats so it will not only satisfy your sweet tooth but will keep full afterwards!

This delightful smoothie tastes like a Dairy Queen cookie dough blizzard, but it’s made with simple and whole ingredients. We use frozen bananas to make a creamy and delicious smoothie packed with antioxidants, plant protein and fiber for a healthy and satisfying snack!

A smoothie recipe that adds the twist of having a little cookie flavor in it?! I mean, what more can you ask for in a breakfast, snack, or dessert! This cookie dough smoothie is perfect any time of day. It’s gluten free, healthy, and packed with probiotics + protein. I love starting my day with a smoothie that not only fuels my body but also my soul!

Honestly, this smoothie is great for breakfast, perfect to enjoy for lunch, great for a pre-dinner snack or even a treat for dessert! Most smoothie recipes are pretty straight forward and this one is no exception! All you really need to do is throw all of these ingredients in a blender and blend it up. I’ll run through some tips though to make sure it turns out well.

You want to chop your banana into small coins before freezing. You won’t be able to cut it easily after it’s frozen and it’s pretty tough to blend a full frozen banana. So just chop it, toss it in a baggie, and freeze for smoothies! You can add some veggies into this recipe if you like sneaking them into a smoothie. Toss half cup of spinach or cooked cauliflower rice. Both are great options and don’t really change the flavor. Its totally customisable, you can add your own ingredients and toppings to make this smoothie recipe your own.

I love that this  thick creamy chocolate chip cookie smoothie is made with clean ingredients but tastes like dessert! Healthy fats, carbs from fruit and added protein makes it nourishing and totally delicious.

Servings 2

Ingredients

• 2 bananas, sliced, frozen
• 1-1 1/2 cups almond milk
• 1/4 cup Greek-style yogurt, plain
• 2 tablespoons cashew butter
• 2 scoops protein or collagen peptides powder
• 2-3 dates
• 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings Optional

• 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
• Fresh fruit or berries
• Chopped nuts
• Hemp seeds

Instructions

• Add all of the ingredients to a blender.

  Blend for 30 seconds or until smooth and creamy.

  Pour into 2 glasses and top with your chosen toppings.

  Note: The amount of almond milk you use determines how thick or thin you would like your smoothie. I like to start with ½ cup of milk and add more until it meets my desired consistency.

  It is important to use cashew butter and honey rather than using substitute ingredients. These ingredients give the smoothie it’s cookie dough flavor.
