Author: www.myfoodtemple.com
Recipe type: Smoothie
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries (keeps the smoothie cold and thick)
- ¼ cup raw cashew nuts (soak in water for 4 hrs or overnight, then rinse before using)
- ¾ cup filtered water
- 1 tablespoon golden flax flakes ( ground golden flaxseed crushed)
- 1 tablespoon 100% pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Throw all ingredients into a blender and blend.
- Keep blending until mixture is smooth and turns to a nice soft pink colour.
Notes
It is important that you pre-soak the cashew nuts for 4 hours (or overnight or all day), then rinse them well before using, as it will make them easier to digest and it will make the smoothie much creamier and a much lighter colour. Soaking the cashews removes the gritty texture and makes them creamy and smooth. Soaking also improves digestibility of the nuts. Finally, the creaminess from soaking also makes the smoothie a beautiful pastel pink colour, instead of dark pink and it tastes amazing.
