This Strawberry Cashew Smoothie was designed for those of you who want a healthy, filling, and delicious smoothie that doesn’t contain and banana or avocado. It’s also a Fast Diet friendly smoothie for those of you who are having success following the Fast Diet (aka Intermittent Fasting) and want to keep life interesting!
I read ALL of your comments and because so many of you asked nicely, I designed this smoothie to contain NO banana, avocado, or cottage cheese (per your request).
Plus, I’ve kept the ingredients to an absolute minimum so that you can whip it up in a matter of minutes.
