Cashew Blue Spirulina Protein Snack
Cashews make the most amazing snacks. I love snacks that come in an all-in-one compact form, as it means I can take them with me anywhere, which works so well with my busy lifestyle. Healthy, prep-able and convenient are my top priorities when it comes to snacking!
Servings 20
Ingredients
- 2 cups cashews, soaked 3+ hours and drained
- 4-6 tablespoons milk of choice
- 2 teaspoons blue spirulina
- 1 lemon lemon, juice and zest
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a food processor with at least 2 tablespoons of milk. Whether you need more milk to make the mixture creamy depends on how soft the cashews are. Depending on the power of your blender it might take a few minutes to arrive at a smooth mixture. Stop blending to scrape the sides if necessary and continue to blend until smooth. Add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Sometimes I add up to 1/4 cup of milk to smooth it out.Taste test to decide if it needs more honey, lemon or vanilla. Make it so it tastes good to you. Pour into molds (I buy silicon molds and use a squeeze bottle to pour it in) or use mini cupcakes papers or ice cube trays, freeze at least 2 hours (or longer depending on your freezer temperature) and then eat! Store in fridge for up to 1 week or in freezer for up to 3 months
