Cherry flavored candy was always my favorite flavor growing up. Now I’ve become way more of a chocolate person than a candy person and prefer the actual cherry fruit to the artificial flavor. This smoothie is a perfect combo of two of my favorite flavors- chocolate and cherry. Give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments below or on Instagram @haven_quinlan!

Ingredients

  • ¾ c frozen sweet cherries 
  • ½ frozen banana
  • ⅓ c frozen riced cauliflower 
  • 1 c homemade cashew milk (check out my recipe HERE!)
  • 1 original Blender Bomb

  • Sprinkle of milled flax seeds & chia seeds

Directions

  1. Blend all ingredients well, and add more cashew milk until you reach your desired consistency. 
  2. Top with cacao nibs and cherries and enjoy!

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

One of my absolute favorite parts of fall is all of the yummy pumpkin dishes that come with the change of the season. Unfortunately, many of those said pumpkin dishes (Helloooo pumpkin pie! How ya doin’, PSL?) are loaded with added sugars that spike and crash my blood sugar and leave me feeling bloated and sluggish. Is the flavor really worth it when it makes me feel bad the rest of the day?? Well no longer do I (& by result, you!) have to decide between enjoying a pumpkin treat and feeling like capital “C” Crap! Take this yummy pumpkin pie smoothie for a spin in your blender on the next crisp, fall morning!

Ingredients 

  • 3/4 c – 1 c nut milk of choice (more or less depending on your desired consistency) 
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1/3 steamed & frozen sweet potato (you can use frozen riced cauliflower instead, but the sweet potato will give you a creamier consistency) 
  • 1/3 c pumpkin puree (get the stuff without the yucky additives!) 
  • 1 tbs almond butter
  • 1 tsp agave nectar (or honey or pure maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or a combo of nutmeg, allspice, and cloves) 
  • 1 original blender bomb or tsp each of flax & chia seed 
  • 1 small handful of ice

Directions

  • Add all ingredients to your blender and blend. Add more nut milk as needed to reach your desired smoothie consistency. Top with homemade granola. Enjoy!
