- ¼ cup cashews (soaked for at least 2 hours for maximum creaminess)
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 Medjool dates, pitted
- 2 Tbsp raw cacao powder
- 1 frozen banana
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk (adjust for desired thickness)
- Sliced almonds
- Chia seeds
- Cacao nibs
- Unsweetened coconut flakes
- Cashew nut butter
- Fresh berries (optional)
- Add all base ingredients to a high-speed blender, beginning with the almond milk and adding the frozen banana last.
- Blend until luxuriously smooth and creamy, about 45-60 seconds. The consistency should be thicker than a drinkable smoothie but pourable—add more almond milk a tablespoon at a time if needed.
- Pour into a wide, shallow bowl, creating a canvas for your toppings.
- Artfully arrange your toppings in sections or concentric circles—sprinkle with sliced almonds, chia seeds, cacao nibs, and coconut flakes. Finish with a generous spoonful of nut butter placed in the center, allowing it to slowly melt into the smoothie.
