Cashews serve as a great alternative to bananas in smoothies, offering a creamy texture when soaked. Soaking them overnight or quick boiling followed by a brief soak maximizes their smoothness. Approximately 1/4 cup of soaked cashews can replace one banana in your recipe. The versatility of cashews extends beyond smoothies to various dishes such as smoothie bowls, creamy sauces, and savory dips, making them an excellent addition to both sweet and savory recipes without imparting excess sweetness.
When soaked in water, cashews soften, making them blend into a smoothie with ease.
The mild flavor of the cashews works well with everything from green smoothies to berry blends.
You can also use cashews instead of bananas to make a cashew based smoothie bowl or even an acai bowl.
Beyond smoothies, you can whip up a batch of cashew cream and transform it into creamy sauces for pasta, bases for soups.
