Total time:
Serves: 1
Ingredients
½ cup (60g) raw cashews, soaked overnight
1 cup chai tea*
¼ cup almond milk
½ frozen banana or 4 ice cubes
2 dates, stones removed**
1 vanilla stalk, split
1 tablespoon each of lucuma and mesquite powder (optional, but recommended)
pinch of Himalayan pink salt
cinnamon, to sprinkle on top!
Instructions
Add your cashews, dates, tea, and almond milk to your blender and blend until smooth. This could take a couple of minutes depending how strong your blender is. Be patient as you don't want bits of cashew in your milkshake - we're aiming for smooth!
Add in remaining ingredients and blend again until smooth and creamy!
Serve in a glass with some extra cinnamon sprinkled on top!
Notes
*Simply brew your chai tea according to instructions and let cool! Try and use loose leaf instead of the instant powder!
**If your dates are too dry, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes and then drain them before adding to the shake.
VANILLA - If you don't have a vanilla stalk, just sub for ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract!
If you have a super amazing blender like a Vitamix you don't have to pre-soak your cashews. Mine isn't all that amazing, so I have to pre-soak mine!
