Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries

- 1/4 cup cashews
- almond milk to blend
- add-ins
- vanilla bean
- plant protein powder

Notes
- Use frozen fruit for creaminess.
- Frozen bananas give your smoothie a thick, milkshake like texture. To freeze bananas, peel and slice them, then lay the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once frozen solid, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag for easy smoothie use.
- Soak your cashews for a smoother blend. If you don’t have a high-powered blender, soaking cashews beforehand ensures a silky consistency.
- If you're new to using beets in smoothies, pairing them with sweet fruits like strawberries helps mellow the beet flavor while keeping the drink refreshing and vibrant.
- If you use fresh beets in your smoothie, peel and chop them into small pieces for easier blending.
