Ingredients

  • 1 cup dairy-free milk (plain, unsweetened // we used almond)
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 cup frozen sliced banana (1 large banana yields ~1 cup or 150 g)
  • 2 Tbsp dairy-free yogurt (we used coconut yogurt)
  • 2 Tbsp cashew butter (we like Artisana // see notes if nut-free*)
  • 2 Tbsp cacao nibs (or sub dark chocolate chips)

ADD INS optional

  • 1-2 large medjool dates, pitted (for added sweetness)
  • 1 scoop protein powder of choice (we recommend vanilla)

TOPPINGS optional

Instructions

  • In a high-speed blender, combine dairy-free milk, frozen raspberries, frozen bananas, yogurt, and cashew butter. Blend on high until smooth. Taste and adjust, adding pitted dates for more sweetness or protein powder for a more filling smoothie.
  • Add cacao nibs and pulse/blend very briefly to mix them in — about 3 seconds. Option to garnish with more yogurt, cacao nibs, fresh raspberries, or granola for texture!
  • Best when fresh. Keeps for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, but it will get thinner in texture. You could also freeze into an ice cube tray and re-blend later (adding more dairy-free milk as needed to encourage blending), or freeze into popsicles!

Notes

*Nut-free option: We tested this with tahini and it added a very slight bitterness, but we still enjoyed it. We haven’t tried sunflower butter, but we think it would also work!
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without optional ingredients.
