Creamy Cashew Goji Smoothie Bowl
4.5(86 ratings)Soaked cashews blended with frozen banana make a base so creamy it tastes like soft-serve. Keeping it pale lets the toppings shine: crunchy whole cashews, broad coconut flakes and chewy goji berries that you soak briefly so they plump up. A simple wooden bowl suits its warm, rustic colours and keeps it cold longer.

Method
-
Step 1: Soak the cashews in cold water for four hours, then drain and rinse well so the base tastes clean and sweet.
-
Step 2: Blend the soaked cashews, almond milk, dates, vanilla and salt until completely silky before adding any frozen fruit.
-
Step 3: Add the frozen banana and blend again briefly, just until thick and creamy, so the mixture stays cold and scoopable.
-
Step 4: Cover the goji berries with water for ten minutes, then drain and pat them dry on a towel.
-
Step 5: Spoon the smoothie into wooden bowls and top with goji berries, coconut flakes and whole cashews in loose clusters.
