This Golden Milk Smoothie is the perfect cold, thick, and refreshing beverage -- great for a filling and protein-packed breakfast, snack, or even a healthy dessert! This smoothie is the perfect solution for when the cravings for a hot cup of Golden Milk strike, but it's too warm outside!
BLEND: Combine cashews and almond milk in a high-powered blender. Process until smooth, about 60-90 seconds.
BLENDAGAIN: Add remaining ingredients and blend again until completely smooth, about 60-90 seconds. Make sure the honey hasn't pooled at the bottom.
ENJOY: Before transferring from blender to glass, give it a quick stir to make sure everything is integrated and smooth. If you’ve got any chunks, blend it again. (And on the flip side, don’t over-blend or the smoothie won’t be as thick!) Pour into glass(es) and if desired, add an extra sprinkle of cinnamon and/or chia seed on top (optional). Enjoy promptly; this smoothie is best enjoyed right after being blended.

Notes
Note 1: Blender: You'll need a good, powerful blender (think Blendtec® or Vitamix®) to break down the cashews without soaking them first. If you don't have a powerful blender, I recommend soaking the cashews first (check out this Cashew Ice Cream recipe for three ways to soak cashews).Note 2: Cashews: We love dry roasted cashews best — more flavor without any extra effort on your part. Note 3: Frozen banana: The banana sweetens and thickens the smoothie beautifully. It also ensures the smoothie is filling! Make sure to freeze a fully ripe banana or use already frozen ripe bananas!Note 4: Honey: The honey pulls everything together and perfectly sweetens the smoothie. The smoothie is definitely lacking without it!
