Cashew Milk


1 cup of milk contains:
92 calories
7 grams fat
2 grams protein
1 gram fiber
1% calcium
5% iron
  • 65 grams raw unsalted cashews
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp stevia powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 4 cups cold water
In a blender, combine cashews, salt, and vanilla with ONE cup of water. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes. Add remaining water and blend once more for an additional minute. Milk should be completely smooth and free of cashew pieces.

Transfer milk to an air tight container and shake before use. Stores in the fridge for 3 days OR can be frozen (my preference is to keep one cup in the fridge and freeze the remainder in one cup portions as we dont use much milk).

serves: 4
  • 1 can (12 oz) frozen orange juice concentrate

  • 2 c. milk
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1 1/2 trays of ice cubes (approx. 16-20)

Blend all the ingredients together.

*tip: if you wish to half the recipe, it is easiest to cut the can in half (only if it is cardboard), then cover the remaining half with plastic wrap and freeze.
