You will not miss the dairy in this water based drink – the fat from the cashews adds a great consistency and the lime zest simply makes you happy. It is such an easy drink to make, you can leave out the brown sugar or substitute for dates to make this a sugar free power drink.

If you have a powerful blender like a vitamix, you do not have to bother with soaking the cashews.
