      I need to get into using coconut milk in smoothies, it just adds that tropical feel to them! I also have some hemp hearts waiting to be used, but I'm afraid to use them, so this seems like the perfect way to start : )

      I'm psyched about all the farmers markets opening up for the season, too! There's nothing like a sweet, juicy strawberry, and I always have to pick them up from the market. Like you, they tend to end up in my mouth before I can do anything with them, but this smoothie looks so tasty, I'll definitely have to snag some extra strawberries to stick in it! I've still never put cashews in a smoothie and I love the idea. Protein for bk? Don't mind if I do! Everything about this smoothie is sublime, my dear!!

      Ooooh this sounds wonderful! I have been on a smoothie kick recently, and have been trying out lots of different ones, this sounds lovely and refreshing. I am so jealous you can enjoy local strawberries, I hope to someday grow my own! Yum yum! So good for you too, and they taste incredible when they are fresh.

      This looks so delicious! I can't wait until the farmers market around here has fruit, although here in WI we still have a winters farmers market with very scarce pickings!

        I hope the fruit starts rolling in for you here soon! Although this works great with frozen berries too that have been thawed slightly.

      This screams summer deliciousness! I have yet to try coconut milk in my smoothies. I currently use unsweetened almond milk, but the extra fat would be good for me, and you can never go wrong with coconut. 😉

        I used to only use almond milk in my smoothies too, but I am so grateful for the happy accident of purchasing a few cans of light coconut milk by mistake. Its a must now in my morning smoothie.

        Oh no! Give it a try without the cashews. You may find you still like it:)

      Great choice of ingredients. I really do need to whip out my blender a lot more often, I'm missing out!

        Lily, I don't know why, but sometimes my blender goes into hiding too. It's like I forget about it ir something. I finally just gave it a home on the counter and now I use it all of the time.

      Loving the combo of flavors here. I need to start adding the dates onto my smoothies. I always use bananas but I sure can swap for the dates 🙂

      The best is when you walk into a supermarket and can smell the strawberries from across the room!! That's how you know they're good. I just bought some this week as well and now I can wait to get all smoothie on them! these flavors sounds so perfect together.

      The organic strawberries are on sale multiple places here this week, so I can't wait to make this! Ever since I saw a Vitamix person make a smoothie with lime, I do it his way now. If you've got organic limes, just take a tiny wedge, flesh and rind and throw it in! Now, I keep a lime in the freezer and cut off a sliver and add it to my smoothies whenever I want limey flavor. You get a big lime taste and it's so easy! No more leftover limes getting pushed to the back of the fridge getting moldy (or is that just me?)

      Are the medjool dates a staple for this smoothie or just for added sweetness? I'd love to try it STAT but the dates are the only ingredient I don't have on hand.

        Jackie I add the dates for sweetness so feel free to leave them out. You can always add another banana if you would like your smoothie a little sweeter as well.
