This week for the Amazing Drink community we have a contest theme of Super Smoothie. Thanks to 
My go to smoothie is usually green. We don't really have great fruits here and when they're good they are expensive.
I haven't had much fruit lately. I realized because of the smoothie theme, it was time to get some fruits and forfeit the usual green one.
The smoothie I have made, may seem unusual to the average Canadian, because of the addition of cayenne pepper and salt.
This is a tribute to Mexican fruits eaten most commonly with chili salt and lime. I have switched the chili for cayenne pepper which is very good for the heart and digestion. I have turned my favourite way of eating fruits into a smoothie.
The flavors include, sweet, acid, spice and salt. Of course if someone were not wanting to consume too much salt, it would still be good without. Same goes for the cayenne. I wouldn't omit either.
The main liquid of the smoothie is coming from watermelon and cantaloupe. These are imported and quite expensive. They are worth it for the taste along with the minerals and water content to carry the minerals through the body. I love the hydration they provide.
In addition I have added kiwis which I don't consume very often but I do like them. They say that kiwis have more vitamin C in them then oranges. The tartness along with the citrus balance out the sweetness of the melon and the agave nectar. I have also added strawberries. They are getting more plentiful and tasting much better these days.
My blender is not big but it does a good job. I added the melon to make a liquid first. This made it easier to blend the cashews.
Once the melons were blended I added the juice from the lime and orange. Then I added the strawberries which were washed with filtered water.I added the kiwi along with them.
All of the fruits were chilled in the refrigerator except for the cashews. They were soaked overnight then frozen. I wanted my smoothie cold.
The cashews were added as an emulsifier, otherwise it would not be smooth like a smoothie. It worked well.
After adding the frozen soaked cashews, I added the mint, cayenne salt and an ice cube.
The mint was something I added for a little cooling for the cayenne. I like mint with melon and lime. For me it's the taste of Acapulco Mexico and brings me memories of one of my other homes.
After blending I adjusted the flavors to suit my taste which was a little more agave, lime and cayenne. This cayenne had very little heat. The agave nectar is my favourite sweetener. Agave has a lower glycaemic level then sugar. It's also vegan. I use only what is labelled as raw, even though raw foodies will say that it is not, because it requires heat to process. I am not getting into that. For me it's one of the lesser evils. Don't get me wrong I do use cane sugar for certain things.
This was the first time I used frozen cashews for a smoothie. I'm quite impressed with how it becomes naturally creamy when blended.
