You guys know how much of a green smoothie fan I am, but recently I’ve been loving my pretty pink berry packed smoothies. I think my love of them was sparked when I enjoyed an amazing ‘I am Glowing’ smoothie from 42Juice in Brighton.
This is just a beautifully hydrating, health packed smoothie recipe. I challenge you to drink this and not feel amazing!
Every single ingredient in this smoothie is a ‘superfood’ so it will provide you with an intense hit of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The inclusion of cashew butter and the optional protein powder combined with low GI berries means it is gentle on your blood sugar too.
- 2 cups of frozen strawberries and blueberries
- 2 tbsp cashew butter
- 2 cups coconut water
- 1 tbsp maca powder
- 1 tbsp bee pollen
- Optional - 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- Put everything in a blender and blitz until smooth! Serve topped with extra bee pollen.
If you don’t have some of the stranger ingredients listed then don’t sweat it, just leave them out, it will still taste great and be full of goodness!
Green or pink? What is your favourite berry? How do you like to hydrate?
I love smoothies whatever colour they are but I have also been loving berries in smoothies lately! I love the combo of maca and cashew butter you have here – goes so well! This looks delicious :)
Thanks Lauren, maca and cashew butter is so delicious together!
This looks like the perfect smoothie for summer. I’ve not tried cashew butter in a smoothie yet. I’m loving berry smothies at the moment too.
Thanks Nikki, the cashew butter makes them so creamy :-)
My parents have a Nutribullet and my friend (who also has one) keeps going on about nutribulleting nuts in his smoothies and I really need to get on board with this as it sounds amazing. Perfect for after a long run as well!
Ah I knew you’d turn to the smoothie side eventually Anna! ;-)
That looks so refreshing, gorgeous colour too. I haven’t purchased Bee Pollen in well over a year now, and I’m frankly not too sure why. It adds a lovely subtle sweetness to whatever you sprinkle it over. Maca powder has got to be my favourite superfood however – though I’m a bit gutted about the massive price inflation on it now, since there’s such huge demand. I’ve no doubt I’ll give this a go – that and some sunshine would be perfect :)

Thanks Lucy! I love bee pollen, I’m sure it helps with seasonal allergies too :-) It’s been a little while since I bought maca, haven’t seen the scary price yet!
Complete side note, this being a recipe post and all, but I LOVE your thumb ring!!
The smoothie looks delicious, I’m loving all things cashew at the moment.
Haha I know, it’s pretty isn’t it!
I love mixed berry smoothies – I buy the cheap mixed frozen berries and wiz them up with a medal date for a berry slushy which is so tasty! But also a big bee pollen fan – great for this hay fever season too:)
My sainsbos seemed to stop stocking the cheap berries, I need to campaign for them to come back!
Mmm it looks lovely. I don’t mind green smoothies, but I prefer berry ones- plus if we have one, we share it, and I don’t think Andy would drink spinach (even though he eats it!).
I love the idea of using coconut water for the liquid too- it sounds so hydrating for the warm weather.
James tasted some of the green machine smoothie you get from the shops so I’m thinking I could possibly tempt him with a green one now!
Just made this as a post-bootcamp treat! Used almond butter instead of cashew but tasted just as good :) thanks for the recipe! xx
Ooh glad you enjoyed it!
This looks so good! I’m stuck on smoothies only for the next couple of days after saying goodbye to a wisdom tooth so definitely trying out this one! x
Hope your mouth is feeling less sore!
