Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

For the best flavor and texture, drink it fresh. If you must prep ahead, store it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours and give it a quick shake before serving.

Do I have to soak the cashews?

Yes, soaking is essential for breaking down the nut fibers, which creates that signature smooth finish.

Can I substitute the almond milk?

Oat or soy milk work beautifully here; choose an unsweetened variety to keep the sugar content natural.
