Blender Mocha Cashew Latte
A cozy blender mocha cashew latte. This mocha is made creamy thanks to cashews and is sweetened with dates. All the ingredients are blended together to make a simple latte in less than 5 minutes. This comforting and nutritious drink is perfect for the colder months.
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons cashews, raw or dry roasted, unsalted
- 1-2 large Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (or more to taste)
- Small pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the coffee using your preferred method. I use a French press or an espresso maker and keep it running until I get 1 1/2 cups.
- Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender, along with the warm coffee. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Notes
Be careful when removing the blender lid as there will be steam.
This recipe works best with a strong blender. With my Vitamix, I don't have any pieces of dates or cashews in my drink. A Blendtec should work too. I don't recommend it with a weaker blender. If you do try it, you can always soak the dates and cashews or strain the drink with a fine mesh sieve. That being said, the results won't be the same.
You can use a liquid sweetener to taste instead of dates if preferred. Maple syrup would work well.
Feel free to add more cocoa powder for a stronger chocolate flavor.
