Silk Smoothies

Cashew Cookie Butter Smoothie!

When I was up at my sisters a few weeks ago, she had me try this yummy combo of Almond Milk and Coconut milk made by Silk. Then, I heard that Silk makes Cashew Milk too. These milk alternatives are awesome for me, because I am trying to decrease my animal products intake. Meat is no problem for me to give up, but dairy is another story. Especially after my last pregnancy, where chocolate milk was a staple.

I have been making all kinds of things with cashews lately. If you have never cooked with pureed cashews, you should give it a try.  They make things so creamy.  The most recent and delicious cashew recipe that I made was a vegan alternative for Alfredo, from the Isa Does It cookbook.

Now that it is warming up, I am transitioning out of my soup kick, and into the smoothie groove. I prefer cold smoothies to warm meals right now. So look forward to a Summer Smoothie Series coming up. Recipes will be coming all summer long.

Today, I want to share a yummy smoothie recipe with you. I have a hard time calling “smoothie” because it tastes like dessert. It’s made with Silk Cashew Milk so that it has the creaminess that I have been looking for.
