Cashew Lime Green Smoothie

By Chamseddine
Cashew Lime Green Smoothie

This delicious vegan Cashew Lime Green Smoothie will be your new go-to for the warmer months! 

It’s an incredibly refreshing and light tasting from the lime, yet dense enough to keep you full with fiber-rich spinach, fresh herbs, dates, and mango. The cashews are the star ingredient grounding this smoothie and taking the texture to a whole new level of creaminess, sans dairy!

It’s no surprise I love adding fresh herbs to my smoothies, especially cilantro, mint, and parsley for added nutrition and health benefits. They’re great for digestion and overall nutrition support. More specifically, the combination of mint and cilantro in a smoothie has to be one of my favorite herb marriages!

Cashew Nutrition Benefits 

Promotes Balanced Blood Sugar

When added to any meal, the unsaturated fat and fiber in cashews help to slow down the process of digestion. When the process of digestion is delayed, blood sugar levels are maintained at a stable level, which helps to prevent any significant spikes or drops! 

Encourages Optimal Heart Health

Those same unsaturated fats that aid digestion also support a healthy heart. They can help to raise your HDL cholesterol levels and lower your LDL cholesterol levels, making them a great addition to any diet!

Tips For Making This Cashew Lime Green Smoothie

There’s a tip you should keep in mind that will help you save time when assembling this dish.

Try Out Frozen Mango

Looking to speed up the prep time a bit? You can use frozen mango instead of fresh to help cool down the smoothie faster. Plus, this gives a bit of a thicker texture, too! 

FAQ About How To Make This Smoothie

What if I’m allergic to cashews?

Don’t sweat it! You can simply use macadamia nuts, brazil nuts, hemp seeds, or almonds. The texture and taste will be a bit different but you’ll still keep the healthy fats, protein, and a bit of fiber from the nuts used.

I would also adjust the sweetness by adding an additional date to the recipe since cashews have a natural sweetness that almonds and macadamia nuts don’t have.

Cells: The Building Blocks of Life

By Chamseddine
Cells: The Building Blocks of Life The human body contains millions of cells that rely on healthy nutrition like proteins, vitamins and minerals. While the body can create some of these nutrients, it also requires essential vitamins and minerals from food sources. Every living organism depends on its cells to function normally. Often referred to as “the building blocks of life,” cells are the biological, structural and functional units that carry out tasks in an organism. A collection of cells working together is called a tissue, while a series of tissues performing organized functions are called organs. The human body contains trillions of cells, all with varying tasks that help support bodily organs; these include skin cells, nerve cells, blood cells, barrier function cells (supporting the lungs, gut) and more.
