Oh sweet summer 🙂  How I love me some ice cream. But since I eat pretty much dairy and gluten free, I have to improvise, because I don’t believe in deprivation!

But this is no sacrifice and honestly, it doesn’t get much easier than this to make a simple, healthy, dairy free and naturally sweet soft serve! And bonus, no ice cream maker needed! This is super easy to make with either a high-speed blender or a food processor, and obviously the ingredient list is quite manageable. Just keep storing up those frozen bananas, they’re gonna go fast!

Oh my. I want to tell you to just get in your car. Head to the store. Buy the ingredients for this smoothie. And make it. Now.

It is that good!

Not only is it delicious, but it nourishes and satisfies in the way that only a dessert-like “milk-shaky” protein smoothie can do. Because it’s got a good combo of protein, fat and natural sweetness, it will fill you up, satisfy sugar cravings and give you tons of energy to power through your day!

Cashews are one of the best ways to add creamy richness to many recipes, and work incredibly well in…
