BREAKFAST CASHEW BOWLS
I use nuts more now than ever, by soaking them overnight they change the texture of the nuts and assist with the digestion. These little bowls make a great addition to breakfasts and can be packed into your lunch boxes with your choice of topping for a low calorie, high protein snack.
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 ½ cups raw natural cashew nuts, soaked in cold water overnight (8-12 hours)
4 fresh dates, stones removed
1 lemon, juice
1 tsp tahini paste (optional)
1 Tbsp psyllium husk powder
Pinch salt
10 Tbsp cold water or enough to create a smooth, thick puree
Toppings
Fresh fruit
Fresh dates
nuts/seeds
Toasted coconut
Dried fruits
Maple syrup or honey
Method
Using a high powered blender. Add the drained cashew nuts, lemon juice, salt, tahini (if using) psyllium husk powder and water.
Blend until a smooth, glossy puree has formed. If too thick add another 1-2 tablespoons of water until you get the desired consistency.
Pour into your bowls and refrigerate until needed.
When ready to eat simply top with your favourite combination of toppings.
