Like Cereal Milk? Try My Cashew Collagen Smoothie Milk
Meet Cereal Milk's cousin. I am in love with Milk Bar in NYC. I used to live a block over from the store in Williamsburg and I dream of Cereal Milk. This recipe is my own take on Christina Tosi's recipe. Feel free to play with the nuts and try blanched almonds or raw macadamia nuts.
You can use this thick (almost milkshake-like milk) in your tea lattes (I blend them) or you can also drink this straight-up!
Def let me know if you make this recipe! Tag me @chefcarlacontreras on Instagram.

Instructions:
Put the cashews in an airtight container with enough room to cover them with 1 cup of filtered water. Place on the counter or in the fridge overnight for up to 24 hours. For the fast version, soak for at least 30 minutes.
Rinse the cashews, and then place into a high-speed blender.
Add the water and scoop of vanilla collagen powder, blend on high for one minute.
Drink straight-up or make a tea latte.
Chef Carla Notes:
Lasts up to two days in the fridge.
This is the perfect drink for a hot summer day. If you are in the north east, like me you know these days are numbered, the leaves are already falling! It’s inspired by the Venezuelan drink, Tizana, which is made with chopped fruit and grenadine and can be spiked.
