This creamy cashew date shake is a gut-healthy, dairy-free treat that tastes like a milkshake but is made with simple, wholesome ingredients. Ready in 5 minutes, it’s perfect for a quick breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 15–20 minutes)
  • 4–5 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 ½ cups filtered water
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 scoop collagen peptides (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak the cashews: Place 1 cup of raw cashews in a small bowl and cover them with hot water (not boiling, just hot from the tap). Let them sit for 15-20 minutes. While they soak, pit your dates if needed.
  2. Drain and rinse: After soaking, drain the cashews and give them a quick rinse under cool water.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add the soaked cashews, 4-5 pitted Medjool dates, 1 ½ cups filtered water, 1 cup ice cubes, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to your blender. If using optional add-ins, add them now.
  4. Blend until smooth: Start on low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth with no chunks. Scrape down the sides if needed.
  5. Taste and adjust: If you want it sweeter, add another date and blend again. If it’s too thick, add a splash more water. Too thin? Toss in a few more ice cubes and blend.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour the shake into glasses and enjoy right away. For a fancy touch, sprinkle a little cinnamon or crushed pistachios on top.

Notes

Soak cashews properly for creaminess. Don’t over-blend to avoid warming the shake. For a thicker shake, use frozen banana. The shake can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
