Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie

Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie

Picture
While most people are starting this easter morning with pancakes, baked goods, and sweet treats- we're starting slow. We need to pace ourselves because this afternoon I'M GOING TO EAT SO MUCH CANDY. I can't help myself. Luckily, I've got a protein powder like Sunwarrior's Warrior Blend protein to help me start the day in a much more balanced + healthy place. Sunwarrior protein is amazing. It's got a great, rich, sweet flavor and isn't the least bit chalky (and you can buy it HERE). The Warrior Blend has a whopping 19 grams of protein per serving (about 40% of your daily need!) and ZERO sugar. Sun warrior is formulated to be easily digestible and is made of things like pea, hemp seed, cranberry and coconut oil- you know, REAL food! It has a complete amino acid profile (meaning all of 'em) and has extra lysine and leucine, which can be lacking in plant-based proteins. And, as you can see from the photo, it's free of soy, gluten, GMO's, and crappy fillers like sugar. Its a plant-based win, for sure. Plus, if you're into it, Sunwarrior also sells things like sprouted barley, fluvial acid, immunity shields and other plant-based proteins too. Basically everything you need to make sure your active body is performing at its very best! This protein powder gives this smoothie a rich, creamy taste- hence the 'cheesecake' part of the title. The addition of more cashews adds a bit of fullness and more protein to the smoothie, while the strawberries and granola 'crust' keep it light and sweet...like having dessert for breakfast! Now grab those easter baskets, start filling 'em with goodies, and lets eat!

INGREDIENTS:
1 scoop OR individual packet of Sunwarrior Vanilla Protein powder
1 cup fresh strawberries
1/2 cup raw cashews
3 medjool dates, pits removed
12 oz. non-dairy milk (we like coconut!)
1 cup ice
granola, for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. Top with a bit of granola (its like the 'crust' of the cheesecake!) and serve in two small glasses- or one big one. Enjoy!

WOOOOOOOOW. I just made this and I was so happy (because it was a smoothie recipe that I actually had all the ingredients for!), took off the lid to smell it and yelled "HOLY SHIT!", scaring the crap out of our cats. This is one of the best smoothies I've ever EVER had. Thank you thank you!

Did you or anybody have trouble getting the Sun Warrior to blend well. Was there any problem with grittiness or a failure to maintain suspension once blended? Did it settle to the bottom of the glass?

Hi Marty! Not at all for me! I actually really liked how smooth Sunwarrior blended into the smoothie- no chalkiness or grittiness at all! Did you have problems with it?

No, some of the reviews on amazon (i think) said it was gritty. I wanted to check before I invested in a tub of the stuff.
