- First grind nuts/seeds together using the grinder attachment on your blender (for smoother end consistency). *A coffee grinder can be used to grind nuts/seeds.
- Blend ground Cashews and Coconut Cream until smooth. Add Vanilla Extract & Seeds, and Cardamom Seeds and blend again.
- Add frozen Banana and blend again.
- Add Ice as needed and blend. And/or add a little Spring Water if becomes too thick to blend.
*Eat right away!
*Serve with fresh fruit, warm poached fruit or enjoy on it’s own
*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:
-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove
-Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.
- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.
-Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative.
-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water.
-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).
