Ingredients

  • 1 cup smooth natural cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk of choice, as needed
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Add the cashew butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla and sea salt to a small bowl.
    Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are completely combined.
    The mixture will become thicker as the protein powder is incorporated. Add the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring well after each addition until you reach your preferred spreading consistency.
    Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired. Add another small drizzle of maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter spread.
    Transfer to a clean jar or airtight container.
    Refrigerate until ready to use.
     Blended Bites Tips 💡
    For a particularly smooth spread, use a naturally runny cashew butter. Different protein powders absorb different amounts of liquid, so adjust the milk gradually rather than adding it all at once.
    If the spread becomes too firm in the refrigerator, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes and stir before serving.
    Optional variations: Add1–2 teaspoons cacao powder for chocolate cashew spread, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for cinnamon-maple flavour, or 1–2 tablespoons shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
    Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir before serving if needed.
