Easy Strawberry Shortcake Dessert Thickie

This is all my favourite flavours and textures in one drink. A juicy strawberry with the taste of melt in the mouth crumbly shortcake. Get all these great desserts flavours without the guilt in this smoothie.

After the success of the first dessert thickie in the series, the Healthy Apple Pie Smoothie, this Easy Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie will do a similar job of satisfying those sweet cravings for desserts.

This smoothie will really appeal to children, or anyone with a sweet tooth, especially those who love biscuits and desserts.

Easy Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie: Dessert Thickie

Author: Katherine Natalia

Recipe type: Drink

Prep time: 5 mins

Total time: 5 mins

Serves: 2

Juicy and moreish, never crave shortcake again!

Ingredients

2 Cups Non Dairy Milk (oat, rice, soya, almond, hemp, coconut drink or raw nut or seed milk)
3 Cups Strawberries
1 Cup Oats (rolled oats or use raw oat groats if following a raw food diet or oatmeal if you don’t have a powerful blender)
¼ Cup Cashew nuts
¼ Cup of Raisins (or other dried fruit or sweetener)
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

Blend the ingredients in the order listed.
Blend the ingredients a few at a time so that your blender can cope with the work, unless you’ve got a high powered blender, then you might be able to add them all in at once.
If it gets too thick, add more water as necessary.
If your blender has made the smoothie too warm, you can either cool it down in the fridge or freezer, or add some ice cubes or frozen fruit to it (You may need to add more water as this will thicken it further).
