Cashew and Banana Smoothies

May 25, 2011 By Patricia Leave a Comment

Cashew and Banana Smoothies are a pretty darn quick breakfast to make, if that’s what you’re into. Oh yeah, they taste really good, and are good for you, too! I’ve learned that cashews are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber, and are rich in heart-friendly monounsaturated fatty acids.

According to Chiquita, bananas are fat free, cholesterol free and sodium free, and are also a hearty-friendly food. Perfect, right?

I’ve made this cashew and banana smoothie for breakfast, for lunch and as an after-workout treat. Delicious!

If you don’t have time to wait around to let the cashews soak for 15 minutes, you can take them out of the water sooner.

This recipe was adapted from Whole Living.

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
