Recipe: Strawberry Cashew Milk
***Rachel Khoo would like to thank all the inspiring people who helped make the Khoollect studio a hive of creativity. Although the Khoollect studio’s doors have now closed, you can keep up with Rachel’s newest adventures on RachelKhoo.com and on Rachel’s Instagram and Facebook pages – and, continue to enjoy the Khoollect website’s stories and recipes, which will remain available.***
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
Place the cashews in a bowl, cover with filtered water and soak for 3–12 hours in the morning or overnight.
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.
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.
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.
