Creamy, luscious and dairy free homemade cashew milk. No strain, no nut milk bags required, quick and easy to make in no time. 100% Vegan, gluten free and simply the best.
Let’s talk about the ultimate milk ever:
Creamy Cashew Milk!
Made with nothing but wholesome ingredients: raw cashews and water. For those of you with a sweet tooth you can add a couple of dates and have some fun with a drop of vanilla extract.
Most importantly, you simply can’t get this in a carton at the grocery store. You will find everything from oat, rice, soy, almond to walnut milk but they are all thickened up with carrageenan and other preservatives you don’t want to put in your body.
It gets better, there is no waste when making cashew milk. You don’t need a nut milk bag, you don’t need to strain it so there won’t be any pulp to throw away.
Just pure, frothy, creamy, flavorful nut milk!
Just like a smoothie, you also get to keep all the fiber and nutrients packed in cashews so a real nutritious good for you whole food. Zinc, potassium, lutein, zeaxanthin, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin K, protein, I’m all about it!
To soak or not to soak the cashews ?
A quick 20 minute soak in hot water is all that the cashews need to yield the most luscious and frothy milk of all. If you have a powerful blender like the Vitamix you could even get away without soaking at all.
Can cashew milk be frothed ?
Absolutely yes but it also naturally comes out incredibly frothy as pictured above.
Does it need to be refrigerated ?
Yes, please make sure to store in the refrigerator in a glass bottle or jug.
