But really, it looks a bit poo brown and has leafy greens in it. I don’t care, I’ll go by chocolate milk, because the kids LOVE IT! And so do we. For the last week this is how we’ve started off our day.
Thought I’d share the recipe because I’ve now nailed it.

Instructions
Here’s how you do it in a thermomix:
- Add your cashews and grind on speed 9 for 10 seconds. Then add water and mix on speed 9 for 30 seconds to make cashew milk.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix on speed 9 for one and a half minutes.
Here’s how you do it in a blender:
- Grind your cashews and then blend up with water. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until a smooth consistency is reached.
Recipe Notes
I will experiment with getting some zucchini or cucumber in there tomorrow. But this base is gorgeous. Even my mum liked it, who has just visited, and she was practically gagging at the thought of it! For nut free you could use oats instead of cashews.
