Cashew Crunch
Ingredients:
• 12 ounces cashew milk, unsweetened
• 2 scoops Metabolic Drive Vanilla Protein Powder (60g).
• 1-2 tablespoons cashew butter: creamy, unsweetened
• 1/4 cup chopped cashews
Directions:
-
Whisk milk and protein powder. Freeze.
-
Spin on the Lite setting.
-
Make a hole in the ice cream and add the cashew butter and cashews. Hit mix-in. Option: Add a teaspoon of extra milk at this point for a soft-serve texture.
Notes:
-
One or two tablespoons of cashew butter works. Obviously, two adds more cashew flavor and a softer texture. It’ll just cost you 95 additional calories. Powdered, defatted cashew butter is available if you want to reduce the calories.
-
I added the cashew butter as a mix-in, and it worked fine. Some add nut butters to the base. Blended, that should work fine. Now, the user’s manual says, " Chocolate hazelnut spread and nut butters do not mix well." Worked fine for me.
-
This recipe works great too with cow’s milk (and moo-juice always leads to a better creamy texture than plant-based milks.) I was just trying to pack in more cashew flavor with the cashew milk.
