Cashew milk is a creamy, plant-based dairy alternative made by blending cashews with water and straining the mixture. Originating from the popularity of nut-based milks, it is commonly used in vegan and lactose-free diets. Cashew milk is naturally free of lactose, cholesterol, and saturated fat, making it a heart-healthy substitute for cow's milk. It is also lower in calories compared to other nut milks, depending on added sweeteners or fortifications. Rich in vitamin E and healthy fats, it supports skin health and provides some antioxidants. Commercial varieties are often fortified with calcium and vitamin D for bone health. Its smooth texture and mild, nutty flavor make it versatile in both sweet and savory recipes, such as smoothies, soups, and baked goods. However, it may lack the protein content found in dairy milk or soy milk, and some versions contain added sugars or flavorings, so label reading is key.
