I know I've got a yummy smoothie when Vienna says "ooooooh, YUMMY, YUMMY" and Walker says "mmmm, this is realllllly good". And then in less than 5 minute they've both slurped it back! This was the case with this creamy raspberry smoothie. It was hard to get photo because Vienna kept sticking here finger in it.
- Creamy, naturally sweet and could be a dessert too!
- Paleo and vegan if you use coconut yogurt
- Gluten-free
- Grain-free
- Kid-approved
- Packed with good fat and protein
Here's my recipe for a smoothie that tastes like cheesecake but is good for you too!

Enjoy friends,

Sounds delicious. I’d love to make it for my grandchildren. However they can’t have cashews can I leave them out or is there another option?
ReplyYou could swap out the cashews for another nut like almonds if you like. Or simply omit it and add an avocado for creaminess. Enjoy!
Looks delicious! I don’t have cashews, unless I pick them out of my nut mixture...will almonds work, or do I need a softer nut?
ReplyFor the creaminess, cashews are ideal. But if you use almonds, you could soak them first for about an hour or longer to soften them. You could also add half an avocado for a more creamy texture.
I just made this and am enjoying it as I write. Delicious! I didn't have any protein powder so used pure vanilla extract.
ReplySounds amazing! Glad you love it!
Can you recommend a brand of yogurt please.
ReplyI like Best Baa Farm which is sheep yogurt here in Ontario or Kefir Kult which is a much thinner consistency but it's liquidy.
For someone that has a peanut and tree nut allergy what could I use to replace the cashews?
ReplyYou could simply omit them and add some coconut manna or coconut butter for that creamy texture.
Hey Joy. What can I replace for cashews? Thanks
ReplyYou could use some coconut cream to get the same creaminess or you could use raw walnuts or almonds but you won't get the same creamy texture, unfortunately.
i made it and it was REALLY good. both my toddler boys loved it and even asked for it another day :) I also made it for myself a few times already!
Replyhaha! So glad to hear that!
Can you recommend a protein powder brand (kids friendly) please?
ReplyFor sure, this is the one I buy: https://amzn.to/4aVHtfM
What protien powder do you use?
ReplyManitoba Harvest - the plain one. https://amzn.to/4aVHtfM
I am so looking forward to having one of these! What protein powder does Joy use? There are so many it’s overwhelming. I do find I don’t feel satisfied when I drink smoothies. I’m not finding coconut yogurt at my grocery store. Wishing all a fantastic weekend.❤️
ReplyWhat kind of protein powder is a good one to use? I have bad digestion and when I have smoothies I never feel satisfied? Thank you Angela
ReplyMy favourite protein powder is Manitoba Harvest.
