School mornings around here are crazy and this Mama is on a healthy start to keep my days streamlined and easy. This Coconut Cashew Banana Smoothie is a delicious way to start the day that gives me the protein I need to do all the things that need to be accomplished during the day.

I rely on my Vitamix E310 Explorian Series Blender to make things easier. Moms Meet sent me a Nut Butter Blogger Kit containing an under-the-blade scraper, nuts, a glass jar, and recipe cards so I knew that I had to try this Coconut Almond Cashew Butter. This would make for the perfect ingredient for my morning smoothie.

Delicious. I love adding a nut protein to my smoothies in the morning and making them myself at home I am able to watch how much sugar is incorporated in this butter. I love that my Vitamix E310 Explorian Series Blender has a powerful 2 HP motor can handle even the toughest ingredients to create high-quality blends
