Description

Soaking the cashews ahead of time will help make the cashews more easily digestible and will lend itself to that velvety texture you’re looking for here. If you don’t have a high speed blender, you can still make this smoothie. You’ll just need to be patient, and scrape down the sides of your blender regularly. If you do have a high speed blender, you don’t *have* to soak the cashews, but I still recommend it if you have time.
