They blended it and put it back into the original cup the frozen ingredients came in. They kept the ingredients in the cup while pouring the liquid which meant they were using much less liquid than I was. I’d been making my smoothies this way for a year, then I found other instructions from Daily Harvest – I think it was a commercial or video. Mint + Cacao smoothie with 20 ounces of cashew milk In total, I add approximately 20 ounces of liquid for my smoothies. I put the ingredients in the blender, fill up their cup with cashew milk and then fill it up half way again and blend. It’s not specific whether to remove the ingredients before filling the cup, and that is what I do. The instructions for the smoothies are to fill the cup with your favorite liquid and blend. These use a milk-base liquid, and to lighten it up, I use cashew milk at 25 calories a cup. My favorite two smoothies are the Mint + Cacao (240 calories before liquid) and the Chocolate + Blueberry (260 calories before liquid). It’s enough to satisfy the sweet tooth cravings in me. For instance, with the Mint + Cacao, they say it “Tastes Like: Mint Chip Ice Cream.” While it’s not Haagen Dazs, it does remind me of what I like best in mint chip ice cream without the guilt that it’s going to pack on pounds like real ice cream will. The description Daily Harvest provides is relatively accurate. While bananas and spinach are the base of many smoothies, they are not dominant flavors. They taste like real fruits, not artificial flavors.
Water-based options: Dragon Fruit Juice and True Nopal Cactus WaterĪfter a smoothie, I feel satisfied until lunchtime and don’t have bingey cravings. Water-based options: coconut water (calories range significantly), True Nopal Cactus Water (20 calories per cup – my preference in liquid), Dragon Fruit juice, and other unsweetened or lightly sweetened fruit juices, but be careful that the fruit juice doesn’t overpower the smoothie’s natural flavors. I use cashew milk at 25 calories a cup or almond milk at 30 calories per cup. That’s why you always want to read your labels beforehand. Unsweetened Almond Milk generally has 30 calories, but their product lines vary and can be as much as cow milk, which can have 90 to 180, depending on which product you choose. Choose your liquids carefully as you can start racking up calories based on this. Some smoothies work better with a milk-based liquid and some with a water-based liquid. When I was working out to reach a specific goal-weight for my knee replacement surgery, this was an essential part of my regime because I was burning as many calories each day as I was consuming, and this helped me lock in my breakfast calories.ĭaily Harvest has a wide variety of great flavors ranging from fruity berries to savory fall-time comforts with tropical and exotics in between. They get that right for me every time! The flavors for me suit my palate very well, unlike some other uber-healthy smoothie companies’ products I gagged down. Quality of ingredients and consistency of flavor have been the same throughout all of my deliveries. In fact, I purchased a freezer just to keep these yummies on hand! It’s my go-to quickie breakfast smoothie because it makes the rush to get ready for work a breeze. I’m a regular customer of Daily Harvest and have been so since Fall of 2018 (As of this writing, I have had 18 deliveries). The Cacao + Mint Smoothie is always in my freezer Simply grab a cup, add some liquid, blend, and go.
