Strawberry Coconut Cashew Lactation Smoothie

March 27, 2017 by Larisha Campbell Leave a Comment

You’ve asked and begged.  You’ve even pleaded.  It’s finally here. 

A BRAND NEW LACTATION SMOOTHIE RECIPE. 

Breastfeeding.

It’s one of the hardest things I’ve done. Yet, it’s also one of, if not the, most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. You’re nourishing an actual human being and that’s no small feat.  Whether you breastfeed for 5 days or 5 years, you helped to give that little one the best gift ever. Part of making sure you are nourishing another human being is making sure that you are nourishing yourself as well.

I know we’re all busy, especially once another little person enters into the world. Furthermore, if this isn’t your first littler person, you’re even busier. Sometimes we literally just forget to eat.  But I’m going to have you make me a promise today. You will eat breakfast every morning. Deal? Deal! Good. HA!

Now that we’ve made that commitment, let’s get to out strawberry coconut cashew lactation smoothie.

As with any of our lactation recipes, I’m going to put that disclaimer that you really need to get to the underlying issue if you think you have low supply.  It’s very unlikely that you have a low supply or you aren’t producing enough to nourish your child adequately.  However, there are a small percent of people who do.  What we like to promote with our lactation recipes is that these recipes are providing you with the calories, protein, and healthy fats that you need to maintain a healthy supply.

This lactation smoothie is delish.  If you’ve never had the strawberry, coconut, and cashew flavor combination, you are totally missing out!

Without further ado, here’s the recipe you’ve been waiting for since forever!

Coconut Cashew Strawberry Banana Smoothie

March 28, 2016 by Larisha Campbell 4 Comments

This coconut cashew strawberry banana smoothie may be our family’s newest favorite flavor combination. Slightly nutty + slightly sweet + a bit like an original classic, it’s guaranteed to be a hit.

I’ve always loved smoothies myself, but must admit that up until the last few years most of my smoothies weren’t very exciting.  Strawberry Banana, Berries and citrus, strawberry and pineapple…that was pretty much the sum of my smoothie experimentation.  Once I had Skibbles and she started eating more, I got a little more adventurous after realizing that I could pretty much put anything in a smoothie and she would eat it that way. Coincidently, I would also eat pretty much anything put into a smoothie I found out. Thus, our love and adventure of smoothies began. We experiment all the time and daddy actually came up with the recipe for this one, but Skibbles loves it!

She is just getting into “girly” things like her doll house and princesses, so she loves pink smoothies. Lucky for Andrew and I, this smoothie is loaded with great nutrients and lots of protein, so we are happy to let her have it as often as she wants too.

Click play to watch us make this one!

The other amazing thing about smoothies is that she can easy make this herself for the most part.  I typically pre-measure things out for her, but other than that she’s on her own. She loves pushing the buttons on our blender.  It’s such a feeling of accomplishment for her! The facial expressions she makes are enough to light up any room, am I right?

Coconut Cashew Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Author: Larisha Campbell
Ingredients
  • 8-10 strawberries
  • 1 banana
  • 1 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 1/4 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/8 cup chia seeds
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients to a blender.
  2. Blend until well combined.
  3. Pour and serve.

I’d encourage you to not only try this smoothie, but if you are having trouble getting fruits or veggies into your little ones, to try it in a smoothie form.  Berries can mask a lot of flavors and things like sweet potatoes or carrots have a sweet enough taste to help with flavor too.  Leave a comment below and let me know your favorite smoothie combo!
