Instructions
Make the drizzle ahead of time by stirring together the cashew butter, honey, and salt. Work in the hot water until the mixture is the consistency of thick, smooth cream. Set Aside.
To make the smoothies, grind in a coffee grinder, oats, chia and hemp seeds until finely ground.
Combine the frozen berries and banana in a blender and blend on low until broken down into tiny pieces, scraping down the blender bowl occasionally. Add the almond milk, hibiscus tea, honey, cashew butter, and ground oat mixture and blend on low, scraping down the blender frequently, until it reaches the texture of soft serve, a few minutes. At first, it will seem like the mixture needs more liquid, but resist the urge to add more than another ¼ cup or you’ll end up with a thin smoothie. As the fruit softens, it will begin to blend together better.
Divide the smoothie mixture into two bowls and top with a good drizzle of cashew cream and your toppings of choice. Serve right away. Enjoy!
