My friend gave me some vanilla coconut milk the other day, so I decided to experiment and make some smoothies with it.  I found one that I really liked a lot!  I decided to grind up some cashews and add them to the smoothie for some extra fiber and protein.  Check out this website for more health benefits of cashews and see why they are one of the world’s healthiest foods.  Here is the recipe I came up with.  Enjoy! 🙂
