Heart-Healthy Green Smoothie with Cashews

This Heart-Healthy Green Smoothie with Cashews is, well, really healthy.  🙂

The almond milk, bananas and honey totally offset the taste of the kale to make it a smooth smoothie that is worth chugging! Give it a chug!

Make sure you follow the instructions in the right order as shown below. The important thing to remember is to always blend the leafy stuff (in this case it’s Kale) first with the liquid or ice. Once blended, you can add the fruits or other veggies.
