a while back, i bought a big bag of raw cashews i was planning on using to make cashew milk. though i love cashews, i discovered i don't like cashew milk. ew. i found this recipe at choosingraw.com and i had to buy a big bag of carrots to go with that big bag of nuts. i could seriously drink this smoothie every day.
adapted from choosingraw.com
serves 2-3
1 1/2 cups fresh carrot juice (from about 6-8 large carrots)
1 cup ice
1/2 cup cashews, raw
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice (i just use cloves since i don't have allspice)
2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
soak the cashews in a cup of water in the refrigerator for a few hours. drain. process the carrot juice and cashews in a blender for a few minutes until smooth. add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. (if you have a really cool blender like this one or that one, then you could just throw all the ingredients in at once, but this is how i have to do it in my blender.)

I'm giving this one a try! I've been drinking smoothies everyday and needed some new recipes. Anyway to do this one without a juicer?
Thanks for the bread today!
Amanda,
You can try cutting up the carrots in small pieces, blend them up really well - you may need to add a little water. Then drain through a strainer. I haven't tried it, but that's what I found in a quick google search. If that doesn't work, let me know and you can use mine.
