Sweet Eats: Blueberries with Cashew Creme



Blueberries with Cashew Creme

I love a good guilt-free dessert, don't you? This one also happens to be dairy-free, gluten-free and organic :)

The raw blueberries pack tons of anti-inflammatory phytonutrients and antioxidants, while the cashews, rich in heart healthy monounsaturated fats, provide magnesium to lower blood pressure and are high in protein and fiber. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup raw whole cashews, rinsed
  • 1 cup alkaline or filtered water, cold (or just enough to get creamy consistency)
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 whole soaked vanilla bean squeezed to release seeds
  • 1/3 cup Raw Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, warmed until liquid
  • 1/3 cup Irish Moss Paste (optional)
  • handful of organic berries

Preparation
Soak the nuts the night before (or a few hours if you have the time). Cover the nuts with the water and set aside on a kitchen counter or cover the dish and place in your refrigerator.

Drain and Rinse the Cashews. Add the drained raw cashews to a high speed blender, Vitamix or Blendtec Total Blender, with enough water to cover plus about an inch more.

Add the rest of the ingredients in the cashew mix. Process the contents on HIGH till the contents are totally smooth and creamy. Throw some rad berries (of your choosing) on top. I chose organic blueberries :)
