Day 6 – BWLW September Smoothie Challenge – I took my own advice

This post is a bit late because work has been…Crazy as a [beep].  Better late than never.  I’ve got 3 new smoothies recipes for you below.  Check out the previous days posts for other recipes.

I took my own advice from earlier in the week and added 1/2 cup of raw cashews to 2 bananas, water, and 2 cups of strawberries on Thursday morning to make this smoothie.  Yummy and creamy.  In the Nutribullet the cashews were completely broken down, but there were some chunks of frozen strawberry.  I’ll let it blend a little longer next time.
