Published on August 14, 2017 | By |

Trying to avoid dairy? Or just want to try something different?

Whip up a batch of sweet cashew cream. You won’t regret it. Promise.

This snack fits the bill for a nutrient-dense, blood-sugar balancing sweet treat that won’t leave you feeling like you’re settling for a healthier option.

It may also be a good breakfast, especially in warmer weather and for people who like to begin the day eating something on the light side.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups raw cashews
½ – ¾ cup filtered water (add more water according to consistency desired)
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup Blueberries
½ cup Strawberries
½ cup Raspberries
½ cup Blackberries

Instructions

1. Soak the cashews in a bowl of water set on the counter for at least 4 hours, and up to 12 .
2. Blend or process cashews with ½ cup of the water, maple syrup and vanilla until a smooth, fluffy consistency is achieved. Taste and add more maple syrup if you want it sweeter. At this point, if the consistency is too thick, add the remaining water, or some of the remaining water, until a smooth consistency is reached.
3. Layer berries and cream in tall, thin glasses for individual servings.
