Strawberry & Creme Smoothie

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this is the girliest smoothie I’ve ever made.

Lots of pink, super sweet and all topped off with a fresh strawberry. Yep, I LOVED photographing this smoothie. I’d also been waiting to put all these cute straws I had bought to good use. So more pretty smoothies are an order!

This strawberry and creme version is really decadent. It’s more sugar than I generally have in a smoothie, but today, I was celebrating. What was I celebrating, you ask? Well, I had my first big single girl win. I successfully dismantled a light fixture and replaced a bulb in my kitchen. Small victory I know (probably not even a considerable victory for most) but it was a big deal for me considering I’ve always had a guy around to do these types of things for me.

So whatever achievement you’re making today, considering rewarding yourself with this breakfast treat 🙂

2 cups frozen banana

1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries

1 1/2 cups almond milk

1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked for 2 hours if you don’t have a Vitamix)

3 dates, pitted

2 tbsp raw vanilla protein powder (or plain protein powder and a tsp pure vanilla)
