How to Make Cashew Milk (Paleo, GAPS, SCD, dairy-free)

Cashew milk is a staple in our home.  I make it every week and use it in smoothies, sauces, quiche, ICED COFFEE (come to Mama!), really any place that milk or half-and-half is called for.

Cashew cream has a thicker consistency – more like heavy whipping cream.  I use it in place of cream for sauces like Chicken and Veggie Alfredo and Chicken with Mushroom Wine “Cream” Sauce.

  1. After soaking, drain cashews and toss into blender. Add filtered water.

  • 1 1/2 cups filtered water

Instructions

  1. After soaking, drain cashews and toss into blender. Add water.
  2. Blend on low, then quickly turn blender to high and blend for several minutes.
  3. Cashew cream freezes well (think popsicles).
  4. I like to pour the cashew cream into small glass mason jars and then freeze. Its a breeze to take one or two out the night before to use later in recipes like Chicken and Veggie Alfredo.
