Pecan-Orange Milk (Dairy Free)
Okay, don’t die of shock, but here’s another recipe – two in two days!! This is just a little one… I was going to post it on my Quirky Cooking Facebook Page but sometimes my ‘little recipes’ get a bit lost over there, never to be found again. A bit like yesterday’s recipe, which was nearly lost in my handbag, and I’ve been strongly encouraged by Helene of Super Kitchen Machine to use ‘post-it’ notes for my scribbles, not scraps of shopping lists, so that doesn’t happen again! (You’ve got to see her hilarious video here; so funny!)
This is a ‘juice’ I’ve been making for years, with many variations. Change it around with:
– raw cashews or blanched almonds or a handful of fresh coconut (or dry shredded coconut) instead of pecans;
– fresh pineapple or grapefruit or tangellos instead of the oranges;
– a raw egg added for extra protein;
– a big handful or two of raw baby spinach or other greens.
It’s a great way to start off the day – the enzymes and vitamin C in the fresh fruit and the minerals and protein in the nuts make a great combination! It’s thick and creamy like a smoothie, but without the dairy. If you like it sweeter, add a little raw honey. If you want it thinner, just add a little more water. Hope you like it!

Hi Jo – we had this for breakfast – YUM! I had to use cashew nuts instead of pecans though as I needed all my pecans for the bread! I remembered reading on your blog once about putting a bit of peel in with juices, so I did and balanced it out with some agave syrup. This will no doubt be a regular breaky drink in our household whilst oranges are in abundance!
That sounds great!! Cashews are so lovely and creamy, and adding a bit of peel is very good for you! Good one 🙂
This sounds wonderful! LOVED Helene’s video too!
Sorry, not anonymous! Bee!
Loving the look of this one, Jo!
A perfect way to use some of the fantastic Australian oranges that are around now so very cheaply ‘cos the growers have had a bumper year and need to sell them all now.
Also very handy for the big pack of raw cashews I bought the other day for a reason which promptly slipped my mind!
Brekky tomorrow I think.
Thanks Bee & Amanda! Wasn’t Helene’s video too funny, Bee?! Amanda, it IS a great way to use up a surplus of oranges – which is why I made it the other day, then thought I should share it! I also have lots of pecans so I used them, but raw cashews are lovely in it too!! Hope you like it!

Oh, Amanda, if you still need something else to make with those cashews, try the Creamy Hot Chocolate which is made on cashew milk – to die for!!! 😀

Enjoyed this for breakfast this morning – what a great drink. Now that the weather is a little bit warmer a cold drink to start the day is not so intimidating.
I will be trying the hot choc next, thanks Jo.
So yummy! I am sure my girls will love it.
Glad you liked it Amanda!! Hope your girls do love it, Elena! 🙂
Thanks for the great recipe. I cannot wait to try it with my kids.
Great! I’ve been making smoothies for my in laws, and will add blanched almonds. Actually, with oranges, I find it easier to just peel it with my fingers, after quartering it. I’m just too lazy to use a knife, removing the skin.
Hope they all like it! 🙂
