Homemade Collagen Cashew Milk | PALEO, Whole30

Servings: 3 cups
Calories: 309kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 cups filtered water (plus more for soaking)
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1/4 cup collagen peptides

Optional add-ins*: 1 whole date or 1 1/2 raw honey, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, pinch of sea salt

    Instructions

    • Add the cashews to a mixing bowl and cover with cool water.  Soak for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.  Drain the cashews and give them a good rinse.
    • Transfer the cashews to a blender and add 2 cups of filtered water.  Blend until smooth.  If you are using dates, add those here as well and blend until no bits remain.
    • Add the collagen peptides (plus any other mix-ins) and pulse until well combined.  Transfer to a milk bottle or pitcher and store in the refrigerator.  Shake well before each use, as the milk will settle naturally.

    Notes

    • Feel free to multiply this recipe as you need, just keep the ratios the same.
    • If you are using dates to sweeten your cashew milk, be sure to soak those too for best blending.
    • If you like a thinner "skim milk" texture, add more water to your liking.  I like a thicker, more creamy texture so I use the ratio stated above.
    • If you are making this on a Whole30, do not add dates, honey, or any other sweeteners.  You could add vanilla bean for some flavor- but no extract if it contains alcohol.
