My Favourite Smoothies
Summer just began a few weeks ago and so far it has been wonderful with great temperatures, not too hot and not too cold. I love it!!!!
This summer I plan to make fifty different smoothies so watch this space. I shall keep on posting as I make and keep on drinking of course…..
Please note that bananas tend to oxidize and turn brown when exposed to air. It’s always important to add a citric juice like orange when making smoothies with bananas. The other alternative is to add 2-3 tablespoons lemon or lime juice. I found this smoothie really sweet, my daughter didn’t so I guess it’s not really sweet. I have reduced my sugar intake over the years so my palate is not used to SWEET…
Banana Cantaloupe Cashew nut Smoothie
Preparation time: 5 minutes Serves: 4 x 250ml cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup fully-packed, diced cantaloupe
- 3 bananas, sliced (I used Dole)
- 2 cups orange juice
- 30 pieces (1/3 cup) raw cashew nuts (or almonds)
Instructions
- Combine everything and blend till smooth. Serve.
- If you want the smoothiet extra thick, add only 11/2 cups orange juice.
Point to Note
I always refrain from adding sugar to smoothies. If you want it sweeter, add whatever sweetener you prefer.

Sean would be all over this! He is my cashew lover!
Cashew nuts are great but you have to dig deeper into the pocket. It tasted good!
