We drink a lot of almond milk around here. I make my Strawberry Almond Milk recipe quite often. And while we love it, sometimes it’s good to change things up. Homemade Cashew Milk is a wonderful alternative to almond milk that is creamy, delicious and equally good for you. Cashews are rich in copper, iron, magnesium and protein.
Add to Vitamix or Blender:
2 cups cashews, soaked in water for 8 hours (and then drained)
7 cups filtered water
15 drops liquid vanilla stevia
1 1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt
Blend on high for 2 minutes. Place hand on top of lid when blending as the container will be quite full.
Place a nut milk bag (or cheesecloth) over a glass container and pour milk through bag, allowing the milk to pour into the storage container. Place container in fridge and drink within 2-3 days.
Please Note: With cashew milk you don’t need to use a nut bag as cashews blend up very well into the mixture and leave very little pulp. Yet, I still run the milk through a nut milk bag one time to remove the small particles and ensure the texture is completely smooth.
Makes 8 servings.

I am passionate about healthy living and believe nutritious food can be delicious-even for those living with food allergies. I cook and bake without gluten and with limited grains and dairy. Cheers to radiant health and vibrant living!
“With cashew milk you don’t need to use a nut bag” This is one of the reasons I love cashew milk! Super duper easy. Thanks for the recipe.
@Bringjoyj My pleasure. And you are totally right-no nut milk bag needed. I just put it through the bag once to make is super smooth.
Been wanting to give making my own nut milk a shot now that I have a Vitamix. Thought I’d start with cashew milk. This sounds yummy! Have you tried it with out the stevia? I am right smack in the middle of the Whole30 so I’d have to do without it. Just wondering how you like it if you’d had it without.
@coconutmama I have tried it without stevia. Still delicious and creamy! When you are off the Whole30, a treat is to add a couple of dates to the milk as well
Oh wow. I just made almond milk tonight. But I’m peeling myself up off this couch to soak cashews so I can make this recipe tomorrow! I’ve never had cashew MILK but I’m imagining how creamy it will be!!
