Better-for-you ingredients
Learn more about the better-for-you ingredients in this recipe:
- Raw cashews Good quality fats (including raw nuts, avocados, extra virgin olive oil and coconuts), enjoyed in moderation, will actually store in the body as energy and not fat which helps you lose weight in the long run.
- Almond milk, a non-dairy alternative, is favored by detox divas for the ease at which your body is able to absorb its nutrients and then fully eliminate anything after that. Ultimately, these beauties believe eating these types of foods allows your body to more quickly return to its detoxification and beauty work.
Directions
Place the cashews, maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of water into a food processor. Let the ingredients combine for a good 30 seconds. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor occasionally. Add an additional tablespoon of water to facilitate blending if need be. The cashew cream is done when you scoop it all together and it looks like a nutty paste.
In two bowls, evenly divide the blueberries. Add add 1/2 cup almond milk to each bowl. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of cashew cream. Mix blueberries, almond milk and cashew cream together! Top with sliced almonds and flax seeds if desired. Enjoy!
