Creamy Cashew Smoothie

I love smoothies, but don't often drink them because of the dairy, Yes, I love cheese, yogurt ice-cream, but often these delicious foods don't love me. So when I stumbled upon this smoothie recipe I was very keen to try it out, I couldn't help but add cinnamon because I find it adds sweetness, and tastes delicious. The recipe serves one as a light meal, but could be shared between two as a snack. 








Ingredients


1/4c raw cashews (do not use roasted)
1/4c desiccated coconut
1 cup of water
1 tbsp chia seed
1 banana (Frozen is best) 
1 tsp finely ground coffee (optional)
1 tsp ground cinnamon 

Throw all ingredients into a blender (or use a stick blender). Blitz for 1 - 2 mins. You'll notice it getting thicker, that's the chia and cashew absorbing the liquid. 
If you're not a fan of coffee, you could easily leave it out. I'm also going to try it with ground ginger next time. 

Enjoy
