This smoothie tastes like a strawberry milkshake. Filled with sweet berries and cashew butter, it feels super indulgent but is incredibly healthy. I use cauliflower, sometimes zucchini in most of my smoothies (see my smoothie prep tips here). It is an easy way to sneak in veggies and has a mild flavor allowing the other ingredients to shine. White sweet potatoes taste like vanilla and make it super creamy! If you don’t have frozen potatoes on hand, replace it with banana. I recommend you use a tamper to get things going since this shake is THICK! If you want a more drinkable smoothie add more liquid.
Pro Tip: If you can get your hands in Elizabeth Eats strawberry nut butter I love to add a tablespoon inside the smoothie and another on top after blended. It is delightful!

1 cup of almond or cashew milk

Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth.*
*How to make your smoothie THICK!
A Tamper tool is a must! I add all my ingredients in a high speed blender with 6 oz of liquid. You can always add more liquid. Start blending on a low speed gradually increasing while pushing the ingredients down with a tamper. Once everything is broken down, increase the speed to high. If there is a frozen setting on your vitamix use it for 2 full cycles. If you do not have the frozen setting then continue bending and tampering. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
