This vegan smoothie is creamy and tastes great with the rich flavors of salted caramel and cacao. Cashews make it creamier, and cacao nibs give it a satisfying crunch. A little maple syrup makes it sweet, and the salt and sugar work perfectly together.
Ingredients: 1 ripe banana. 1 cup unsweetened almond milk. 1/4 cup raw cashews. 2 tablespoons cacao nibs. 1 tablespoon maple syrup or date syrup. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pinch of sea salt. Ice cubes optional.
Instructions: Put the banana, almond milk, cashews, cacao nibs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a blender. If you want it colder, you can add ice cubes and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour into glasses and drink right away.
