Instructions
For a smooth drink-like texture: Add everything to a blender, adding the boiling water last, and blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
For a thicker, frostier texture: Add everything, except for the frozen strawberries, to your blender and blend until completely smooth, about 90 seconds. Add the frozen strawberries and blend until you’ve reached your desired consistency. Serve immediately.
To make creamsicles: Start by making a smooth drink-like smoothie. Then, pour the smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze for 3 hours. Store frozen creamsicles in a resealable freezer bag for up to 1 month.
Notes
There’s no need to soak the cashews if using a high-speed blender. If you don't have a high-speed blender, you can substitute the raw cashews for cashew butter.
If you’re not sure your blender can handle the frozen berries, dates, and nuts, you can soak your cashews and dates for 2 hours in hot water and let the frozen berries thaw a bit before blending. You can also substitute the cashews for cashew butter.
Smoothies can be fully prepared and frozen for quick meals or snacks throughout the week or month. For on-the-go convenience, store prepared smoothies in glass mason jars. Once thawed, give it a good shake before serving.
