This is such a fabulous all round lovely Smoothie – I’ll just have to share it with you!
It’s creamy, mild and comforting. With a cashew coconutty velvety yumminess.
And when you’re after a refreshing zing, then I suggest you add a bit of yoghurt & lemon. Very nice!

April 5, 2013Sounds great, Sandra-and looks *very* creamy! Sorry I didn’t have a chance to create one of my own for your challenge. . .it’s been quite a ‘challenge’ getting everything done over the past few weeks! Hoping things will calm down now that the book is under wraps. Thanks for sharing with Wellness Weekend, as always!

April 8, 2013Creamy and green is my favorite! Love this smoothie. I did it without the yogurt and it was creamy enough! (Aren’t chia seeds just little miracles???) Thanks for linking this up to Raw Foods Thursdays too!
