Start your morning right or just satisfy your craving for something filling and delicious with this guide to nut butter smoothies from Ezra Cohen, McGill graduate, and founder of Ezra Cohen Montreal

Ezra Cohen Montreal is a perfectly blendable new line of non-GMO certified nut butters designed for the foodie who wants a little bit more out of their snacks. Here’s how to use them to make your perfect smoothie.

How to Build a Nut Butter Smoothie

Begin building your smoothie by combining the following ingredients together in a blender. From there, you can choose to add in some additional mix-ins or just keep it simple.

Add a base: Start your smoothie with ¼ cup of organic Greek or plain yogurt.
Select a milk: Add ½ cup of milk. Any type of milk will do, including dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk. You can also use coconut water or regular filtered water if you’d prefer.

Scoop in your nut butter. Add in a heaping tablespoon or two of your favorite nut butter. Keep it basic with all-natural almond, cashew, or Brazil nut butter from Ezra Cohen Montreal, or kick it up a notch with one of our more decadent flavors, including Praline Pecan Butter, Maple Cashew Butter, or Salted Caramel Cashew Butter.

Don’t forget the ice! Add to the blender 1 cup of ice cubes. If you’d like, you can also add in some of your favorite frozen fruits or vegetables, just reduce the amount of ice you use to accommodate. (For instance, if you use ½ cup of frozen fruit, only use ½ cup of ice.)

Add mix-ins. Give your smoothie a boost with some additional healthy ingredients. Add in anything from your favorite fruits and veggies to natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. For a big health kick without additional flavor, add in a tablespoon of ground flaxseed or chia seeds.

The Best of Snacking

Ezra Cohen Montreal is a brand on a mission for better snacking, and it all starts with our signature Brazil Nut Butter. Our line of exclusive nut butters was started by Ezra Cohen, McGill University graduate and long-time healthy snacking aficionado. The Brazil Nut Butter is a spin on the classic peanut butter, and a new way to enjoy the many benefits of wholesome brazil nuts.

The product

Brazil Nut Butter from Ezra Cohen Montreal starts with a simple idea: roasted Brazil nuts, blended smooth for the perfect texture and spreadability. It’s made in small batches with organic, non-GMO certified Brazil nuts, with a recipe that enhances the natural creaminess and unique flavor inherent in the nuts themselves. The result is a nut butter that’s incredibly delightful however you choose to enjoy it—baked into your favorite sweets, spread on toast or fruit, or eaten right off the spoon.

We believe that healthy snacking should be accessible and delicious. Our Brazil Nut Butter exemplifies this belief, providing an array of good-for-you vitamins and nutrients in one tasty, easy-to-eat product. It’s exactly what you want out of a nut butter (and so much more).

Benefits of Brazil nuts

So what makes the Brazil nut so special? It’s all in their natural benefits. Brazil nuts (which are actually the seeds of the Brazil nut tree) are the number one source on the planet for selenium, a compound that’s necessary for helping your body regulate everything from your metabolism to your mood. Selenium is naturally anti-inflammatory and great for your heart and is one of the big reasons that Brazil nuts are considered one of the earth’s best cancer-fighting foods.

Selenium is a big benefit of Brazil nuts, but it’s not the only health booster hiding out in them. Brazil nuts are abundant with nutrients that help you manage your cholesterol, improve your skin, reduce inflammation, and boost your mood. These include healthy unsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and magnesium. It’s truly the nut that does it all, which is why we celebrate it in our delectable Brazil Nut Butter.

Other products from Ezra Cohen Montreal

In addition to our Brazil Nut Butter, we also offer a range of other healthy and organic nut butters full of flavor and health benefits. For a change of pace, indulge with our Pecan Praline Butter, Maple Cashew Butter, and Salted Caramel Cashew Butter. If you’re in the mood for something more simple, try our Natural Almond Butter and Natural Cashew Butter, which, like our Brazil Nut Butter, are nut butters created with simplicity in mind.
