Two Minute Cashew Milk (Vegan, Oil Free)

One of the hardest steps for a lot of people going plant based is giving up the dairy. We used to always go to the store and get a carton of almond milk, which is fine and WAY better than picking up a gallon of dairy milk. But one thing that we didn't like was all of the ingredients that were added into the store bought plant based milks (but still way better than the hormones and cancer causing compounds found in dairy). So we started making our own cashew milk. And over time I have got it down to the most basic form so that we can make whenever and wherever we want.

Here's the recipe!

Ingredients:

-32 ounces of water
-3 tbs of cashews (soaked in water overnight)
-1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

I just made this and it’s delicious!! Thanks so much for the recipe! I look forward to trying more of your stuff!

Thanks for the reminder how easy homemade plant milk is and you can reduce waste from buying packaged milk too. Pumpkin seed milk is also good.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Easy breezy with no straining. Have been using store bought Almond Milk for years now. So happy to find you Gabriel and your interesting and healthy recipes.

This looked super easy. I always thought you needed to have a nut bag to strain the blended liquid through to take out any un-blended nut pieces. This is so much easier and less messy!

I like that you don’t have to strain it!

Val Marie here! Another great recipe, thank you!

Tysm for this brah. Absolutely excellent.

Thank you for this recipe, I made it today and it was super easy and cost effective. I made almond milk a long time ago but it was very time consuming and ended up costing me more than just buying it off the shelf.

And most of all there is no need to strain it! It was delicious, maybe 1-2 dates can be added for sweetness.

Do you rinse the soaked cashews before you add to the blender? Or do you use the soaked cashews along with the water they were soaking in?

[LeaFsinger]

Is this a lot cheaper than store bought? Certainly seems greener, since you don't need the cartons. :)

This Cashew Milk will be good in the fridge for around a week, but we normally go through this 32oz jar twice a week. So the night before I know I am going to need new cashew milk I start soaking my cashews.

[PLAINJANE]

Do you use raw cashews or just any cashews?

[mayraramos]

You don't strain it? Like for almond milk & oat milk I do. But, I have never made cashew or pistachio milk; they are my next to try on my list.

[erosamuk]

do you have a good source for cashews?

[yogafirejo]

Awesome how so few cashews are needed! <3 <3 <3

[benkoab]

Not many cashews in there...only 3 tbs to 1 liter of water.

[HeavenlyInspirations]

That did not look creamy. More like skim milk! 🤷🏽‍♀️
