DECADENT SMOOTHIES

The nut milks and seed milks are the base for these, which is why they’re more decadent. If you’re on a cleanse, I would suggest refraining from having any of these since they’re a bit heavier and sweeter. Remember, use the unsweetened version of the milks for these recipes.

APPLE PIE

1 cup almond milk

½ sweet potato

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 cup ice

½ green apple

Make sure you are using the unsweetened version of the almond milk in this recipe. The sweet potato and green apple will make it sweet enough, even kids will agree.

BIG BANANA

1 cup Brazil nut milk

1 handful mint

½ cup banana

½ date

½ cup ice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Trying to get the kids off dairy and sugary ice creams? This is a great place to start! It tastes like dessert, and they won’t even know it’s good for them. If you want to make it a bit thicker, add more bananas and then they can eat it with a spoon!

MELON ME

½ cup filtered water

1 cup Brazil nut milk

1 thumb turmeric

½ cup of filtered ice

1 teaspoon coconut oil

⅔ cantaloupe

You might enjoy adding a pinch of cinnamon to this one, which not only makes it taste awesome, but also helps to lower sugar levels!

CHOCOLATE BANANA

1 cup almond milk

1 large tablespoon cacao

½ cup banana

½ cup ice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

Happiness in a glass. This recipe is so good, you will swear it has to be bad for you! Thankfully it is so filled with nutrition, you don’t have to feel guilty. The only thing you will feel guilty about is not wanting to share it.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP

1 cup almond milk

½ cup ice

½ cup banana

2 oz. cacao nibs

1 large handful mint

2 dates

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

If you would like to make this drink sweeter, I recommend adding dates, coconut palm sugar, lucuma, or honey. Just start with the basics of the recipes that I’ve listed here and then lightly add more. Just be mindful of how much you are adding so the recipe isn’t compromised.
