Today, I made this new smoothy. It rocks! I was a bit tired so I made this: it was very refreshing & energizing!Β I sweetened it a bit with coconut sugar! Because it was warm, I added 1 cup of ice blocks to make it more refreshing! My husband & I loved it!Β Check it out!
Enjoy it with a lovely straw!
Recipe: For 4 Β times, each dessert cup = 250 ml , in total: 1000 ml! I drank 2 dessert cups = enough!!
Ingredients:
2 cups of Β rice milk
1 heaped cup of fresh strawberries, green top removed & cut into 2
1 tablespoon of carob power
1 tablespoon of coconut sugar
1/2 cup of soaked raw cashews, well-rinsed & drained, drained water thrown away! Soaked for at least 4 hours!!
If it is really hot & sunny: 1 cup of ice / I added this!
Method:
1. Place everything in your Vitamix or blender & blend until it is very liquid. Blend until it is all very well mixed. I used my tamper to push the ingredients down, to the right & to the left, in my Vitamix container. I put it on lower speed, turned from 1 to 10 & put the high power on. I mixed it for about 30 seconds. Taste! My smoothy was a bit sweet but not too sweet! Pour the drinks in your glasses & drink with a straw ! Enjoy instantly! My husband & I each drank 2 .
This was enough to fill our tummies! Β Happy Drinking! π

Great ingredients for a smoothly – love the strawberries and cashews!
thank you, my friend! π Enjoy the drinks!
A lovely smoothie I would love to have too!
You can, there is one left!
Your smoothie combinations are so appetizing!! No wonder they are gone so fast!
Sophie I sent you an e-mail with the jello shots recipe- let me know if you got it!!
Thanks, Koko! Thank you for the lovely mail! π Much appreciated! π
This looks like a super energy drink, Sophie. Great for a middle of the day pick-me-up or a good way to start off the day. Half a banana would be good in there too.
It is! But I didn’t want to use banana! π¦
That sounds wonderful, Sophie. Great combination. I keep reading about coconut sugar and will look for it today when I go to Whole Foods, a store that carries it.
You must try it but it is a bit expensive over here: 11 Euros for 1 large pot of 400 grams!! π¦
Sounds wonderful, Sophie! Yum!
thanks! π Enjoy! π
Mmm cashew…I adore them but they are so spendy. I still haven’t find a place where they sell them in bulk for a decent price.
I can find them more cheaply in my Asian supermarket!
Ooh good idea. I’m gonna start looking for it too. Thanks for the tip!
That just looks too good to resist even on a cold day. I would be drinking a few cups a day π
That’s good, my friend! π You do that! π
Sounds delish!
Thanks, duckie: enjoy them!
Coconut sugar? I haven’t heard of that. Is it a bit like palm sugar? What a lovely smoothie xx
Coconut blossom sugar is an alternative sweetener. It is beet sugar-free. It is also called Gula Java Brut. This is 100% unsweetened coconut blossom sugar. It is slighty brown in colour. It has a lower glycemic index than agave. Itβs GI index is 35. Agave is 40. It also has a lot of minerals and vitamins.
Gula Java is coconut blossom sugar from Java. Harvested by tapers high in the coconut trees, the sweet nectar from the coconut blossom is a cherished resource. Above the log fire, the nectar slowly changes into a delicious, unrefined rich sugar as it is gently stirred in the pan, allowing you to enjoy its sweetness and soft caramel flavour at any time of the day.
But it isnβt as sweet as normal sugar. It is great in cobblerβs, in crumbles, in cakes, in desserts, etc. You can also use it in savoury dishes.
that brings a new meaning to liquid lunch – sounds lovely
Thanks! π enjoy them!
This looks so interesting Sophie! So many good items in one drink! π
ooh yes, indeed! π
Smoothies always look so refreshing. I have never used cashews in a smoothie – or any nuts. This will be a fun “take” for me.
I used soaked raw cashews, not roasted a& not salted, placed them in water, all covered, placed them into the fridge, with a fitting lid on. Let them stand there for 1 night or at least 4 hours, drinse& drain them well. Pour the rinsed water off & use them. They are softer than & your stomch can easily digest them too! They go so well with strawberries!
Perfect for a hot day π
Ooh yes, indeed! π Enjoy them!
Sophie..you seriously need to open some kind of restaurant or bistro…the alternative movement is huge and they would love you! Of course you would have to add every single one of your amazing, healthy, and creative smoothies to the menu! These are no exception..I love the combo of cashew with strawberry! You are a genius!
Now, I am so flattered, Lisa! You always know how to make me smile,… a lot! π
These look refreshing and AMAZING! Make me one? π
Yep, for sure!
OMGeeee! This looks super-gorgeous! β₯
Thanks, sweety! π Enjoy them!
Think I’ll try it with Cacao.
