Store bought non-dairy milks contain fillers, gums, and sugar and most are not organic. It's very easy to make cashew milk because there is no straining involved like almond milk or other nut milks. This lasts about a week in the fridge and can be used for baking, smoothies, dressings, or your other favorite recipes.
Cashew Milk Recipe
- 1 cup raw organic cashews, soaked
- 2-3 organic pitted dates
- 3 cups filtered water
Put the cashews in a mason jar and fill with water. Soak for at least a few hours, or overnight. Strain out the cashews and put them in the Vitamix. Add the dates and water. Process on high for a minute or until completely smooth. Pour into a mason jar and store in the refrigerator. (A good place to get organic nuts aside from is Thrive Market.)
I learned how to make almond milk many years ago when I went to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and later experimented with different nuts. Cashew milk has been my favorite so far. Do you make homemade nut milks?
