Energizing Green Smoothie

Energizing Green Smoothie

I like to think of this as a “beginners” green smoothie.  Mildly sweet, and dairy-free but still with a creamy consistency from the cashews.  If your blender won’t get them to a smooth consistency you can just leave them out and substitute a quarter of an avocado instead.  The Chia seeds provide an extra 4 grams of fiber and a good dose of omega 3s. 1 cup kale, fibrous stem removed 1/2 cup water 1 TB Chia seeds (optional) 1/4 banana 1/2 cup fruit (use white, yellow or green fruit if you want a gorgeous green color) 7-10 raw, unsalted cashews Ice, about 1/2 cup Put all ingredients in blender.  Make sure lid is on tightly!   Blend until smooth and creamy.    ...
