MAKE IT YOUR OWN: You can also make this in the microwave. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the water and oats. Microwave on high power for 1½ to 2 minutes, then proceed with steps 2 and 3 as directed.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN: Use any of your favorite vegan protein blends or pea protein. Make sure to read the label on any protein powders to make sure there are no hidden dairy ingredients. The protein powder can also be left out, which makes the smoothie richer in berry flavor.
SIMPLIFY IT: To simplify the process, soak the cashews the night before. They can be soaked for up to 24 hours before using. Just be sure to rinse and drain them well to get any residue off the nuts.
