Cashews are awesome for replicating creamy things. I’ve been successful with this cashew-based Caesar dressing and also this creamy Alfredo sauce, so why not try my hand at some homemade coffee creamer using this healthy, useful nut.
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN CREAMER
It’s no secret, I am a coffee person. I also love tea but there is something about coffee that is more of an event than tea. For most people, it kicks off your morning and because of that, a good cuppa joe can really set the tone for the rest of the day.
Is cashew milk good in coffee? If you like creamy deliciousness then, yes, cashew milk good in coffee. Cashews are a very rich, oily nut and when they are blended it’s a transformation into thick, creamy milk that is perfect for your Americano.
INGREDIENTS FOR THIS RECIPE
Only four simple ingredients to prepare this cashew milk creamer.
I also use filtered water and love this Propur pitcher. We use filtered water for drinking and cooking with so this pitcher gets a lot of use.
Making this recipe couldn’t be easier! The nice thing about using the cashews is ZERO straining. That means no cheese cloth or nut milk bag to fiddle with or rinse out, etc.
FAQ’S, TIPS AND SUBSTITUTIONS
- What is the healthiest non dairy coffee creamer? Considering cashews are one of the top five healthiest nuts, cashew creamer has to be at the top.
- What are the benefits of cashew milk? Cashews are very high in iron and zinc. They are low in sugar and rich in fiber, heart-healthy fats, and plant protein. Cashews are also a good source of copper, magnesium, and manganese — nutrients important for energy production, brain health, immunity, and bone health.
- Is cashew cream healthier than cream? Replacing dairy cream with a plant-based alternative can definitely have health benefits. Check out the list below!
- TIP! Soak, soak, soak. Soaking the cashews makes them nice and soft which in turn makes the blending process MUCH easier.
- TIP! Store the freshly made cream in a mason jar in the fridge. Make sure to give it a good shake before using.
- If you like sweeter milk you can substitute in 2-3 soft dates along with the vanilla when you blend up the cashews.
BENEFITS FOR GOING DAIRY FREE:
- Improved digestion. You may feel less bloat and intestinal issues.
- Clearer skin. Cutting out dairy may improve skin texture and tone and improve skin conditions like acne and rosacea.
- Weight loss. Eliminating dairy can help with weight loss.
- Heightened sense of smell. Many dairy free converts have discovered the added bonus of a better sense of smell. Casein, the protein in dairy, is closely linked to excessive mucus production, which in turn leads to a blocked nose and sinus pressure. Saying no to dairy can help to reduce this congestion and banish your runny nose.
I hope you all enjoy this yummy alternative to cream.
