This recipe comes to Khoollect from Green Kitchen Stories’ new cookbook, Green Kitchen Smoothies. Here’s what David and Luise said about this refreshing drop:

This lush and creamy strawberry ‘milkshake’ is made from soaked cashew nuts. We add dates as a natural sweetener, but the real flavor comes from the strawberries. Depending on how ripe and sweet your strawberries are, you might like to deduct or add a date or two. When served in small bottles, this milk is ideal for a kids’ birthday party. It would also be delicious served with a bowl of porridge or muesli.’

Strawberry Cashew Milk

Tip!

For a thinner, subtler and more affordable milk, try adding an extra cup of filtered water.

Preparation Time3-12 hrs 0 MINUTES

Cooking Time0 MINUTES

Resting Time0 MINUTES

ServesMakes 1 litre

LevelEasy


ingredients

150 g (5 oz/1 cup) raw cashew nuts (plus filtered water for soaking)

750 ml (25 fl oz/3 cups)  filtered water

225 g (8 oz/1½ cups)  fresh ripe strawberries, tops removed (or frozen, thawed) (organic  if possible)

4–6 soft dates, pitted

¼ teaspoon ground  cardamom

1–2 pinches  sea salt

2–3 ice cubes

Tip!

For a thinner, subtler and more affordable milk, try adding an extra cup of filtered water.

1

Place the cashews in a bowl, cover with filtered water and soak for 3–12 hours in the morning or overnight.

2

Drain and rinse the cashews, discarding the soaking water. Add them to a blender along with the water and blend on a high speed until very smooth. For a creamy velvet texture, leave as is. Alternatively, for a silky smooth texture, strain the cashew milk through a nut milk bag, piece of cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve.

Rinse out the blender and then return the cashew milk to the blender.

3

Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and blend on a high speed until completely smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more dates if necessary.

4

Store in the fridge in a large glass carafe with a lid/stopper. It can keep for a few days in the fridge, if sealed. When ready to serve, pour into medium-sized glass bottles and serve with straws.
