Detox Week - Starter for 10....

My first recipe for my planned detox week:

A base recipe is my alternative to milk and cream, which i use as a base for smoothies etc.,

Soak 3 large handfuls of cashews and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds (black, white, whole or milled),  in the same amount of water for about 1-2 hours. 

Add 3-4 pitted dates, a 3rd of a teaspoon of salt,  a handful of oats. 

Blitz up in a high-sped powerful blender with ice and some additional water to let down a to a creamy consistency. 

Place in a sealed container in the fridge - this will keep for 5 days min. 

I use about 2-3 tablespoons of this as a base for my smoothies, such as this one:

In addition to the base, add 1 banana, a large teaspoon of coconut oil, some prunes (or any fruit, fresh or frozen) and some ice or water and blend/blitz. 

Enjoy.
