    Creamy Chia Vegan Cashew Milk

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Anyone obsessed with boba tea?  I was.  When I was living in Singapore I would have a boba tea everyday.  I would stop by the tea place at the train station and get one before I headed into the office.  Back then I didn't really think about what I was putting in my body.  I just ate and drank what I liked and enjoyed it.  I never new how much it was filled with empty calories and sugar.

    Now if I have friends wanting to go to a boba tea place (there is 4 alone in my neighborhood that just opened in the last 3 months) I just order a normal ice tea unsweetened with no boba.  I know you are thinking she is just drinking regular tea then.  Yup, but at least I get to spend time with friends and they get to enjoy the drinks they want to have.

    Cashew Milk

    I do miss the milky tea, so I created three nutrient dense Cashew Milk's with Chia seeds.  The chia seeds act as a replacement to the boba, which is just full of empty carbohydrates.  Chia seeds are high in fiber, omega 3 fats and protein.

    Author: Rezel Kealoha

    Ingredients

    • ¼ Cup Raw Cashews the raw cashews help make this creamy
    • 8 oz Cashew Milk any nut milk will do
    • 1 Tablespoon Dried Strawberries
    • 1 Teaspoon Maple Syrup add more or less to taste
    • ¼ Teaspoon Vanilla
    • Pinch of Pink Himylayan Sea Salt
    • 1 Teaspoon Chia Seeds
    • Crushed Ice Optional

    Instructions

    • Blend all ingredients in a blender for 2 minutes. Place chia seeds in bottom of a glass and pour strawberry milk over. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (ideally over night) to soften the chia seeds to have the same mouth feel as boba pearls.
    • If you wish to drink it now add crushed ice AFTER the initial two minute blend. The chia seeds will be tiny and hard , but if you have some plain chia pudding on hand in the fridge you can place one tablespoon in the glass and mix to incorporate.
