Vanilla Shake

This meal replacement shake is vegan, raw, and packed with iron, bone-building trace minerals, and healthy fats!


To improve the digestibility of the cashews, they should be soaked in water overnight. Then discard the water since it will contain the enzymes that inhibit digestion. For a smooth texture, soak the dates at least 4 hours. You can use this water since it will be infused with date sugar.


Ingredients
4 dates, soaked
1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked and water discarded
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla powder
1/2 cup ice
1 cup cold water


Directions
Drain water from dates into a measuring cup. Top with cold water to measure 1 cup. Put all ingredients in the blender except for the ice. Puree until smooth. With blender on, add one ice and continue to blend until smooth.


Serves 1.


Enjoy!
