This is the perfect Summer treat. Really simple to make with a few added superfoods included to make this healthy and delicious. I use a superfood green powder and often some vegan protein powder too. With added spinach leaves it’s an easy way to cram in a few more greens too. Using cashew nuts and avocado creates a wonderful creamy texture without the need for dairy.
