The Banana Cashew Smoothie is a delicious and nutritious beverage that's perfect for a quick breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up. This smoothie combines the creamy texture of cashews with the natural sweetness of bananas, creating a delightful drink that's both satisfying and energizing. With the addition of vanilla extract, this smoothie offers a rich, aromatic undertone that enhances its overall flavor profile.

Ingredients:

1 cup water
240g
5 oz cashew
140g
1 banana
120g
1 cup water
240g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Measure out all the ingredients accurately. Ensure cashews are fresh and peeled banana is ready.
2. First Blend - Cashews:
- Add 1 cup of water (240g) to a high-speed blender.
- Add the 5 oz of cashews (140g) to the blender.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This may take 1-3 minutes, depending on your blender’s power.
3. Add Remaining Ingredients:
- Once the cashew mixture is smooth, add the banana (120g), another cup of water (240g), and 1 tsp of vanilla extract (4.2g) to the blender.
4. Blend Until Smooth:
- Blend all the ingredients together on high for about 1-2 minutes, or until the smoothie is perfectly smooth and creamy.
5. Taste and Adjust:
- Taste the smoothie. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can add a bit of honey or another sweetener of your choice and blend again.
6. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing Banana Cashew Smoothie!
7. Optional Garnish:
- For an added touch, you can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a few chopped cashews, or a slice of banana on the rim of the glass.

Tips:

- For a thicker smoothie, consider using frozen banana slices. This will also make the smoothie extra refreshing.

- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, you can add a bit of honey or a few dates.

- To enhance the nutritional value, consider adding a handful of spinach or a scoop of your favorite protein powder.

- Ensure the cashews are well-soaked if you don't have a high-speed blender. This will make blending easier and result in a smoother texture.

- Use unsweetened almond milk instead of water if you want a creamier texture and added flavor.

Enjoy your homemade Banana Cashew Smoothie as a nutritious and delightful treat. It's a simple yet versatile recipe that you can easily adapt to your taste preferences. Whether you have it for breakfast or as a snack, this smoothie is sure to keep you satisfied and energized throughout the day. Cheers to healthy and delicious smoothies!
