7. 2 tbsp coconut oil or oil of choice

Directions for lemonade:

3. Mix the cashews with the paste until all of the cashews have been evenly coated.
4. Spread the coated cashews on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven, stir well and place back into the oven for 10 more minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven and while the cashews are still warm, sprinkle some dry spinach powder on top for an extra pop of green color.
7. Let the cashews cool completely before serving.
