There’s no actual tea in this smoothie, but the warm spices will fill your senses like a good cup of chai. By soaking and pureeing cashews, you’re essentially creating something like a thick cashew milk, sweetened lightly by a few dates.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted cashews
- 1¾ cups water
- ⅓ cup pitted dates
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- Pinch of pepper
- ½ tsp. vanilla
- ¼ tsp. ginger
- ¼ tsp. cardamom
Directions
- Soak the cashews in the water (30 minutes – 24 hours). The longer they soak, the smoother they’ll puree.
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
- Refrigerate to chill (30 minutes) or heat in the microwave (1 minute) to achieve your preferred temperature.
