Hi what is your blender brand?
Sunbeam Cafe Series 🙂
I don’t strain my cashew milk. I soak my cashews over night and then blend them with (fresh) water in my vitamin. The soaking is probably not necessary with a vitamix but since it’s no trouble at all, I usually do it. I don’t sweeten it either. I’m just saying this so people are aware of the various possibilities. (I do sometimes sweeten some already-made milk a bit for a latte.)
Thanks for your feeback 🙂
I love your recipes so much. My husband has lost 12 pounds in a month a I have lost 8 so far. We are both feeling so much better. Thank you for sharing and all you do to help people.
Fantastic!!! Well done 🙂
What can you do with the cashew pulp?
Use it to thicken soup or in baking. Or to make a creamy dressing.
Thanks for your great recipes. May I know if you are using raw cashew for the milk? also to make oat milk we can use raw as well?
The cashews are natural raw cashews. I haven’t tried raw oats, but I don’t think they would work very well.
Thank you Anja! I have been vegan for only a month now and this is one of the first recipes I tried. I love it! It is in my coffee every morning!
Fantastic! Welcome to the lifestyle and glad you like the recipe x
