cashew milk + coffee
cashew milk + coffee is a delicious low sugar snack
it happens to me all the time
halfway through running errands for the day, I end up starving
normally, I ignore it and finish whatever it is I’m doing, and then once home I end up eating everything in site
clearly, that is not a great plan
last week, I was finishing my shopping at Whole Foods when I got that you’re running on empty feeling. I still had two other stops to make on the way home, so I grabbed a drink from the end cap
it was a Forager nuts + coffee
it ended up being just what I needed
a little jolt from the coffee
a little protein from the nuts
it was delicious, and completely kept me from getting TOO hungry
of course, I had to make my own version, so that I can have nuts + coffee whenever I want (plus, hello it is WAY cheaper)
my version is very simple |
cashew milk (raw cashews soaked overnight, and then blended with water – I use 2 cups of water for 1 cup of nuts for an extra creamy consistency)
cold brewed coffee
dates (for sweetness)
vanilla and cinnamon
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew milk
- 1/2 cup cold brewed coffee
- 2 dates, pitted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- place ingredients in a blender jar, and blend until smooth
you can use any type of nut milk you prefer, but lately I am LOVING the creaminess of cashew milk; store bought is fine, but making your own nut milk is really easy
** I don’t like sweet beverages, so if you prefer a sweeter coffee drink, you may want to add a few extra dates
enjoy!

What a great recipe! I always get that feeling right around 3:00 and this would be perfect!
thanks Dorothy – for me it’s about 11:30 or 12 and then again at 3 🙂
This looks amazing Heather! If it wasn’t 10 pm here, I would totally make this now! 🙂 Love it!
I’m the crazy one that would drink it at 10, and then wonder why I can’t sleep 🙂
this sounds like perfection. I love Love LOVE cashew milk, and I bet this is a GREAT afternoon snack!
cashew milk is my new favorite thing!
Cold brewed coffee has been my best friend lately! Love this!
same here 🙂 and thanks Lauren
Yum! I haven’t tried making nut milk before.. it’s about time I give it a shot. Adding coffee never hurts either 🙂
I love nut milk, but the coffee is a must for me 🙂
I’ve actually never tried cashew milk in my coffee! I love almond milk and soymilk but I need to try cashew milk!
I find it much creamier than soy, but almond milk is delicious as well
What a delicious coincidence, we’ve been having cashew milk coffee for the past 2 weeks! it’s great, no weird aftertaste like soy. only problem is, it’s a little thin compared to soy – any tips? 🙂
when I make my own cashew milk, I use less water than most – to make almost a half an half consistency = 1 cup of soaked cashews to 2 cups of water
The cashew milk and the dates are great in here. I will have to give this a try!
thanks Julia, I love it as a mid-morning snack
This sounds delicious! Do you make your own cashew milk or can you buy it in the grocery store?
I make my own, but you can buy it also – even Silk has a new Cashew milk that is delicious
MMM what a delicious way to wake up!!
thanks Julie
I always get the same feeling around 3:00 and if I’m not careful, I’ll reach for something fattening and not at all nutritious. I love this – I’ve never made cashew milk before and it looks so easy, I’ve got to try it!
yes, I most always eat something I shouldn’t if I get too hungry 🙂
Well, I *just* saw the iced coffee recipe at GoDairyFree, and now this. You girls might turn me into a regular coffee drinker this summer! With the added protein I won’t feel too bad about it 🙂
oh yes, in the summer I am ALL about the cold brewed coffee, and with protein I can call it “healthy” 🙂
I would never have thought to add dates to this for sweetness. It is a fantastic idea. I am going to try it tomorrow.
well I hope you enjoy it! thanks Christie
Gorgeous and delicious! I love this combo, but w/ chai tea instead of coffee 🙂
I’ll give that a try 🙂 sounds delicious
Yum, I’ve been looking for a creamer substitute since doing Whole30 and I’ll definitely be trying this out!!!
wow, whole 30 I am impressed! I cant seem to live without my dairy – thanks Sarah
Cashew milk with coffee! The combination is perfect and I love it!! This will be my drink before I start up my day in the early morning 🙂
I used to be strictly almond milk, but cashew milk is SO much creamier, making for a great cup of coffee
This sounds so delicious! I love cashew milk and cashew milk products. It just never occurred to me that I could make it so easily myself. I want to try your coconut milk, too.
i love them both so much, but the cashew milk is so creamy it is so perfect for coffee
I’ve heard so much about cashew milk with coffee lately. I think I need to try it out!
for me it is just the thing i need to get over the afternoon slump
I really want to try this. I love trying to way to spice up my coffee at home.
thanks so much
I’m not much of a coffee drinker but my husband certainly is! I’m sure he’d love this.
it’s a nice little pick me up, thank you
