Chai Gingerbread Shake

Chai Gingerbread Shake
This is pure Christmas in a glass and my version of a healthy egg nog. Laced with exotic spices and the nourishing and warming goodness of cashew nuts, this shake provides a potent dose of protein, antioxidants and minerals to boost your health and wellbeing. Cinnamon helps to regulate blood sugar levels and a hint of vanilla relaxes the nervous system. This recipe is from my cookbook Healthy Baking.

INGREDIENTS

Serves 1

60 g (1/2 cup) raw cashews

750 ml (3 cups) filtered water

2 teaspoons Healthy Chef Chai Latte

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3 fresh medjool dates, pitted

METHOD

SOAK cashew nuts in water for 3 hours, then drain.

ADD cashew nuts in a high-speed blender with the 3 cups of water, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla and dates.

BLEND for about 1 minute or until creamy.

POUR into a glass jar, cover and refrigerate until icy cold.

ENJOY when you feel like a protein rich, dairy-free decadent treat.
