  • 2 1/2 cups cold water
  • 1 large frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts
  • 3 tbsp. hempseeds
  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp. cacao powder

We had so much fun demoing the Vita-Mix at Williams Sonoma for the Dr. Oz wellness festival that I thought I would share another favorite flavored smoothie!

This avant-garde beverage is my masterpiece after foraging in my pantry for a craving so unique that I couldn’t put my finger on it… that is until I flipped the Vita-mix on!

The end result was this maple creamy smoothie with over 20 grams of natural whole food protein and some amazing superfoods that are Dr. Oz  and Dr. Rofrano approved!

Serves: 1-2
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups cold water
  • 1 large frozen banana
  • ½ cup raw walnuts
  • 3 tbsp hempseeds
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tsp maple extract
  • 1-2 tsp real maple syrup {optional}
Instructions
  1. In a strong blender or Vita mix blend all ingredients till creamy.
  2. Add extra chunk of banana if you want a thicker smoothie.
Notes
Walnuts tend to be bitter unless you soak them over night. You can use almonds, cashews or any other nut. This recipe has over 20 grams of whole food protein so adding powdered protein is not necessary. I always have a bag of peeled frozen bananas in my freezer for that unexpected smoothie time. Please use organic when you can.
