Author: Vega Team
Serves: 8 raw popsicles (more or less depending on your molds)
Ingredients
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) raw cashews, soaked (2 hours or more) and drained
- 120 grams (4.25 ounces) coconut meat (fresh, if possible)
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ cup agave nectar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or pure vanilla flavoring
- Seeds from 1 whole vanilla bean (or another 2 teaspoons vanilla extract)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 scoop Vega Vanilla Sport Performance Protein
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in your blender and puree until smooth and creamy. If you aren't using a high-powered blender, start with half of the almond milk and add the rest once the mixture is pureed.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze until set - usually around 4 hours.
Notes
Measurements: From experience, I know that 5.3 ounces cashews is a nice full 1 cup, but I'm not sure what the coconut meat would translate to in cups.
Chocolate Coating: Optionally melt your favorite dairy-free dark chocolate with just a teaspoon of coconut oil. Cool it to room temperature. Once the bars are set, remove them and dip in the chocolate coating. If desired, roll in some chopped nuts. Place on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper in the freezer to set up.
