Notes

Cashew butter is sold at most stores (or on Amazon), but I think almond butter would be amazing as well. I personally like using lightly salted cashew butter for a hint of sweet/salty, but feel free to use whatever you prefer!
Slice up the bananas and place them in plastic sandwich bags to freeze overnight! This is the only part of the smoothie that's actually frozen, so be sure to do this the night before! :)
