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
  1. 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!
  2. Add in remaining ingredients and blend again until smooth and creamy!
  3. 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!
