Cashew Vanilla Chai Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked at least 4 hours
• 1 cup brewed chai tea, cooled
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 frozen banana, sliced
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp allulose (optional)

Method

1. 1

   Soak raw cashews in water for at least 4 hours, or overnight in the fridge, then drain — this long soak softens the cashews enough to blend into a genuinely silky, creamy texture; unsoaked raw cashews stay gritty no matter how long you blend them.

2. 2

   Add the drained cashews and cooled chai tea to the blender, blending on high until completely smooth.

3. 3

   Add almond milk, frozen banana, vanilla, and allulose if using.

4. 4

   Blend until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
