Notes
- Try blending 1/2 cup organic cashews + 1/3 cup brazil nuts + 1 tablespoon of carob or cocoa powder for a Cashew-Brazil Chocolate Milk or the base of homemade fudgesicles.
- For use as a protein-rich smoothie base, blend 1/2 cup organic cashews + 1/4 cup hemp seeds + 3 cups filtered water for a Cashew-Hemp Milk perfect for green smoothies (see my list of smoothie recipes).
- I recommend using raw cashews as opposed to roasted cashews.
- I also recommend using filtered water as opposed to tap water to make sure you don’t get a chlorine flavor in your homemade cashew milk.
